[sir john, spoken]
betsy, why don’t you answer?
then it’s a ruse
and your love for me was a ruse also

[betsy, spoken]
no, no, john
i love you, i do
i love you

[sir john, spoken]
you tricked me
you threw yourself into my arms

[betsy, spoken]
i didn’t throw myself into your arms

[sir john, spoken]
you let me make love to you while you planned to aid your rebel cause

[betsy, spoken]
no, john, no

[sir john, spoken]
don’t speak to me
[sir john]
your pretty words were adorable
it’s deplorable
that they were only lies
still you will find i am affable
it was laughable
that i believed your lies

[betsy]
next to my hеart it is ever so lonely
i’m holding only air
whilе here in my arms it’s adorable
it’s deplorable
that you were never there

[officers, offstage]
cheerio, little mother of mine!
don’t be weary over the sea in the homeland

[officers & mrs. murray, spoken]
anything i am happy to do (betsy, betsy)
general howe has given orders to march
for the king, for the country (what can we do?)

[officers & betsy, spoken]
and you (we won’t have to do anything)
cheerio (the captain will do it for us)
i will hold you again (have the girls made themselves beautiful?)
[officers & mrs. murray, spoken]
with your dreary old (yes, they’re waiting)

[officers & betsy, spoken]
little head on my shoulder (glory be for that)
soon the wind will blow homeward ho (send them out here)
so, cheerio, cheerio

[the soldiers and ladies enter.]

[sir john, spoken]
captain tryon

[harry, spoken]
halt
captain copeland, general howe’s commands
we’re returning to the troops at kip’s bay

[sir john, spoken]
i think general howe will reconsider

[harry, spoken]
i’m sorry
i’m acting under his orders

[howe enters with clinton.]
[howe, spoken]
what does this mean?

[sir john, spoken]
it means that we must stay here tonight
this young lady tried to influence you to leave at once
i’ve reasons to believe some sort of rebel intrigue

[howe, spoken]
that’s interesting

[clinton, spoken]
she was anxious before in trying to rid the house of me

[sir john, spoken]
of course, general howe, her reasons may be purely personal
but i think it best we stay

[clinton, spoken]
we’ll stay and see it through

[betsy, spoken]
no, let the lot of you go
you’re trespassing in our house
like your flabby old king is trespassing in our country

[howe, spoken]
that’s an insult to the crown

[betsy, spoken]
to h+ll with the crown and your king along with it

[howe, spoken]
that settles it
we stay
captain tryon, tell your men to break ranks

[harry, spoken]
break ranks

[betsy, spoken]
many thanks

[howe]
though we’ve no authentic reason
to suspect the maid of treason
from her actions i begin to
see some things we must look into
and the only thing to do
is to stay and see it through

[mrs. murray]
when you tell me you remain, you
give me leave to entertain you
let your duty in a measure
be no duty but a pleasure

[tryon]
duty calls us but in spite of it
hip+hoorah, let’s make a night of it

[ensemble]
full+blown roses are sweeter
full+blown blossoms are neater
to hail a beauty when you meet her
a british soldier knows

[tryon]
you’re like venus and between us
i prefer the riper charms
that the autumn years disclose
your equator may be greater
but i like to fill my arms
with the most substantial foes

[ensemble]
youthful buds cannot beat her
every day her beauty grows
buds are sweet, she is sweeter
we’re very glad to meet her
and greet her, our full+blown rose

[betsy]
here in my arms it’s adorable
it’s deplorable
that you will never, never be there
