IV.—The Return of Theseus.

Air : "The Gay Parisienne."

O Theseus welcome with your loot
With your Minosaur Minotaur monster.
It looks a most ferocious brute,
Does your Dinosaur Minotaur monster.
"We thought that you'd become mincemeat,
A dainty little birthday treat
And that the fearsome beast would eat
You 'ere you could perform your feat,
You ere you could perform your feat.

Chorus :
So clash the cymbals, beat the drums,
The Minotaur monster comes;
And Theseus steps with martial dash,
Now with the girls he'll make a splash,
Just watch them run to see the show
They kiss their fingers so.
And wave their hands and cry "Bravo"
As he goes marching by.

How sweet he'll look in Newtown Zoo,
Will your Dinosaur Minotaur monster.
We'll give him buns and peanuts too,
As everyone certainly wants ter.
With Teddy's tiger he will sit
Swap naughty yarns until they split
Until the tiger in his pit
From laughter pegs out bit by bit,
From laughter pegs out bit by bit.
