Asquith Jr :

You and I go sailing by

And no one will know where to find us

Unseen unknown and blissfully alone

We're leaving the rif raff behind us

All afternoon in our sweet cocoon

Our cares for the moments at bay

Side by side who knows how far we'll glide

Bid the world goodbye eagerly we'll fly

Away

Monty :

I am standing here with poison in my pocket

Standing on this frozen little dock

It seems that I've just let them skate my opportunity away

If I had the poise to put the poison

In a pot of tea or else a shot of gin

I would be back amid the noise of London by the end of day

But

I am standing here with poison in my pocket

One eye on the target one eye on the clock

It better happen soon before I lose my nerve and run

If I had a knife I could have grabbed him

And discreetly knocked him on the head and stabbed him

Not to mention what I would have done

If I had had a gun

Then again the thought occurred if I had truly taken stock

It might have stopped me putting poison in my pocket

What a fool to travel all this way and not think twice

Murder's not a hobby for the cautious

Thoughts of violence can make the timid nauseous

Unless of course the victim plunges head on through the ice

It appears that I've been handed quite an opportune solution

All that still remains is proper execution

I had better join them on the lake before it gets too late

Suddenly there is no stumbling block

It means that I won't need the poison in my pocket

What a stroke of luck Sibella teased me 'till I learned to skate

Asquith Jr/Monty :

Closer now time is racing

Now time is racing on

It's all a matter of pacing

In a moment this moment will be gone

Asquith Jr :

You and I go sailing by

And no one will know where to find us

Unseen unknown and blissfully alone

We're leaving the rif raff behind us

All afternoon in our sweet cocoon

Our cares for the moments at bay

Side by side who knows how far we'll glide

Bid the world goodbye eagerly we'll fly

Away

Bid the world goodbye eagerly we fly

Monty :

Away

All of this is frankly easier than I had though
