Lyrics

Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted
I would say in tender tone
"Loved one, let us be united —
Let us be each other's own!"
I would merge all rank and station
Worldly sneers are nought to us
And, to mark my admiration
I would kiss you fondly thus —
I/He would kiss you/me fondly thus —
But as I'm engaged to Ko-Ko
To embrace you thus, con fuoco
Would distinctly be no gioco
And for yam I should get toco —
Toco
Toco
Toco
Toco
Toco!
  
Toco
Toco
Toco
Toco
Toco!
So, In spite of all temptation
Such a theme I'll not discuss
And on no consideration
Will I kiss you fondly thus —
Will I kiss you fondly thus —
Let me make it clear to you
This is what I'll never do!
This, oh, this
Oh, this
Oh, this, —
This is what I'll never, never do!
This, oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this —
This, this is what I'll never do!
He'll never do!
He'll never do!
This is what he'll never, never do!
  
This, oh, this —
I'll never do!
Oh, this —
This is what I'll never, never do!
