In the Dark
Song & Scene 
Paulette & Male Chorus

I once knew a lady as fair as snow,
The neighbors called her "Gentle Josephine" --
She captured an Elderly Romeo, 
Who under her window  at night would go,
To serenade this lovely maid, 
His heart's own queen
He'd sing each time 
This simple rhyme!
In the dark,
See a spark,
'Tis the  flash of love undying,
For my Josephine 
I'm sighing,
In the dark,
In the park,
Your Tyrolean Napoleon
Is here in the dark
