[jane]
timothy’s late!
timothy’s late!
never mind, i’m happy to wait
i’ve nothing to do
on this fine summer day
it’s easy to while the time away

i ought to do as my mother said
and think of the men that i might wed
but now i’m happy, now i’m free
and the summer sun’s enough for me

i sit in the sun
and one by one
i collect my thoughts
and think them over
say to myself
sit tight on the shelf
as long as you feel that you’re in clover

why be in haste?
you’ve nothing to waste
the best things come
without rhyme or reason
sit in the sun
the sun, the sun
and you’ll bе in love
by the end of thе season
there’s viscount a
and g+y lord b
and of course the hon’rable mister c
whom have i missed
from this glittering list?
surely there must be the one for me?

why not do as the other girls do
and search for a man the summer through
call me a fool, but i’ll follow the rule:
“wait and your love will come to you”

[instrumental]

maybe i’ll wait
till i’m too late
but i shall have waited for one good reason
here in the sun
the sun, the sun
i might be in love by the end of the season

[timothy, spoken]
h+llo, jane. sorry i’m late.

[jane, spoken]
were your parents being troublesome?
[timothy, spoken]
mm, they’re all at me[?] again about getting a job.

[jane, spoken]
i take it you’re not against work on principle?

[timothy, spoken]
oh, no.

[jane, spoken]
well, what sort of job would you like? if you could choose?

[timothy, spoken]
something adventurous, amusing, with a living wage, and temporary.

[jane, spoken]
tim, what’s that?

[timothy, spoken]
a tramp.

[jane, spoken]
no, i mean the thing he’s wheeling.

[timothy, spoken]
looks like a barrel organ of some kind.
[tramp, spoken]
it’s a piano.

[timothy, spoken]
oh, i say. we— we do beg your pardon.

[tramp, spoken]
take the cover off. take a look at it if you like.

[jane, spoken]
thank you very much.

[timothy, spoken]
oh, i say!

[jane, spoken]
it’s pretty.

[tramp, spoken]
like it?

[jane, spoken]
very much.

[tramp, spoken]
want to look after it for a month. you sounded as if you were looking for a job.

[jane, spoken]
you mean, you’d pay us to look after it?

[tramp, spoken]
seven pounds a week.

[jane, spoken]
we might discuss it later. meanwhile, as you’ve got your piano with you, will you give us the pleasure of letting us hear you play?

[tramp, spoken]
that’s a fair request. any special little thing you’d like?

[jane, spoken]
no, we leave it to you.
