Lyrics
Refrain
“Say! Fay! please don’t go away
Can’t you see how lonely I will be?
‘Pon my word, I know it sounds absurd
But I will feel so bad I cannot see
Say! Fay! if your answer’s nay
Can’t you give me just a little hope?
Say! Fay! surely just a ray
No? well perhaps another day, Fay
Refrain
“Say! Fay! since you’ve been away
Things have changed and with a little pluck
‘Pon my word, I know it sounds absurd
But I got rich and, oh, had lots of luck
Say! Fay! on one summer’s day
Lady Clara Vere-de-Vere came here
Say! Fay! I married her next day
So, I must say to you good-day, Fay”
