Lyrics
Chorus:
In the first act
A girl and boy appear
In the second act
Their fam’lies interfere
A row is started
They’re broken-hearted
And soon they’re parted
For one long year
In the third act
The lovers meet again
And before they take
Their curtain calls
We see them spending
A happy ending
In the last act
When the curtain falls
Sung by Judy Fihn and Laurence Rubenstein:
