YUM.: Here's a howdedo!
If I marry you,
When your time has come to perish,
Then the maiden whom you cherish
Must be slaughtered, too!
Here's a howdedo!
Here's a howdedo!

NANK.: Here's a pretty mess!
In a month, or less,
I must die without a wedding!
Let the bitter tears I'm shedding
Witness my distress,
Here's a pretty mess!
Here's a pretty mess!

KOKO: Here's a state of things
To her life she clings!
Matrimonial devotion
Doesn't seem to suit her notion--
Burial it brings!
Here's a state of things!
Here's a state of things!

ALL: With a passion that's intense
I/You worship and adore,
But the laws of common sense
We/You oughtn't to ignore.
If what he/I say(s) is true,
'Tis death to marry you!
Here's a pretty state of things!
Here's a pretty howdedo!
Here's a pretty state of things!
A pretty state of things!

YUM.: Here's a howde--
NANKI.: Here's a howde--
KOKO: Here's a howdedo!

ALL: For if what he/I say(s) is true,
I/he cannot, cannot marry you!
Here's a pretty, pretty state of things!
Here's a pretty howdedo!
