If you’re weak enough to tarry lyrics
by Gilbert and Sullivan
[Verse, Strephon]
If we’re weak enough to tarry
Ere we marry
You and I
Of the feeling I inspire
You may tire
By-and-bye
For peers with flowing coffers
Press their offers
That is why
I am sure we should not tarry
Ere we marry
You and I!
[Verse, Phyllis]
If we’re weak enough to tarry
Ere we marry
You and I
With a more attractive maiden
Jewel-laden
You may fly
If by chance we should be parted
Broken-hearted
I should die –
So I think we will not tarry
Ere we marry
You and I
[Chorus, Phyllis/Strephon]
Ah!
Ah!
If we'rе weak enough to tarry
Ere wе marry
You and I
With a more attractive maiden/Of the feeling I inspire
Jewel-laden, You may fly/You may tire
You and I/by and by
If we're weak enough to tarry
Ere we marry
You and I
With a more attractive maiden/Of the feeling I inspire
Jewel-laden, You may fly/You may tire, by and by
So I think we will not tarry
Ere we marry
You and I!
You and I!
You and I!!!
