HUDSON\t So you see Inspector, it is Helena\u2019s piano.
\nINSPECTOR\tHow very touching. It reminds me of a wee ballad from my childhood called The Lonely Trout
\nWHOOPSIE\tIs he going to tell an anecdote?
\nMAGGIE\t Worse, I think he\u2019s going to sing.
\nINSPECTOR\tGive me a C Chord Miss Schlegel.
\nWHOOPSIE\tOh good grief. Is there to be no end?
\nMAGGIE\t No but there might be an intermission shortly.

\nSong The Lonely Trout<\/p>\n
INSPECTOR\t1
\nFrom the heelan hills and rills o bonnie Scotland
\nFra the bogs and fogs and soggy lochs and braes
\nFrom the moontin tops where lonely jocks drink whiskey
\nTo the dingy pond wherein the lone trout plays.
\nThere was once a laddie wandered wi his lassie
\nWhen she told him that her love for him was dead.
\nAs she left this lonely boy
\nWho\u2019d now lost his only joy
\nThe trout raised his head and this is what he said:<\/p>\n
O rum ti tumti
\nTickle yer monkey
\nTickle di didle doo
\nRumpy pumpy
\nHumpty dumpty
\nTickle yer tivey too
\nOh hankie pankie
\nWinkie wankie
\nDiddle de didle doo
\nRinky dinky
\nTiddley winky
\nNicky nacky noo
\nthe noo the noo the noo the noo the noo<\/p>\n
O muckety buckety
\nShmackety crackety
\nSings the lonely trout
\nTiggly wiggly
\nHiggly piggly
\nWhat is life about?
\nMickety pickety
\nWickety lickety
\nShe was just a slut
\nFind yourself another lass
\nA nicer piece of butt.<\/p>\n
Two Dancing Trout girls enter as the Words are lowered and the Audience sing along.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u2003
\nOh packety wackety
\nNickety nackety
\nSings the lonely trout
\nSplickety wickety
\nPickety nickety
\nWhat is life about?
\nShackety mackety
\nThwackety crackety
\nShe was just a slut
\nFind yourself another lass
\nA nicer piece of butt. <\/p>\n
