For the more you 'ave known o' the others
The less will you settle to one.”

“I've taken my fun where I've found it;
I've rogued an' I've ranged in my time;
I've 'ad my pickin' o' sweet'earts,
An' four o' the lot was prime.
One was an 'arf-caste widow,
One was a woman at Prome,
One was the wife of a jemadar-sais,
An' one is a girl at 'ome.”

“I've never known a girl lovelier than you
If I did I would be lying - that I wouldn't do
Come on, have fun, mmm, make my day tonight
Nothing really matters when you are in love
It's the only institution I'm not weary of
Don't be lonely, mmm, make my day tonight”

“I miss the fun of the underwater more than I miss the fashion shows, to dream up all this stuff and do something unique was fun. Where else could you do that? It didn't pay much money, probably $60 a week at Silver Springs, but it was plenty for me to live on. What I did was what other people considered hard work, but I thought it was fun.”
