The Engagement Party

My dear Simon You're so gracious To wish Lisa and Henry both well Dear Sir Danvers As you know, Sir I wish Lisa the sun and the moon But I have to confess that I wish Henry Jekyll in hell Henry, at last What could possibly be more important than your own engagement party? John, I am close to a breakthrough discovery Something spectacular, something sublime Finally, a light in the darkness has come to me Now it is only a matter of time Henry Jekyll you're a devil You have robbed us of London's most lovely girl I could turn to drink when I stop to think Lisa's marrying a doctor instead of an earl Poor girl Doctor Jekyll, may I be the first to wish You and your bride-to-be Peace and prosperity? Mr. Stride, it's most civil of you To say that, as you do With such patent sincerity
