Toto.

Ah! ah!
Banish sorrow
Till tomorrow,
Let me not rejoice alone;
Rob from pleasure all his treasure,
For my love is all my own.

Banish reason for a season,
Place King Folly on his throne,
Fairest flowers
Deck the hours,
For my love is all my own.

Banish sorrow,
Banish sorrow till tomorrow,
Banish sorrow,
For my love is all my own,
Banish sorrow for a season,
Place King Folly on his throne,
Ah, ah, ah.
Bridesmaids.
Banish sorrow
Till tomorrow,
Her true love is all her own,
Rob from pleasure all its treasure,
For her true love is all her own!
Toto.
Ah!
Men tell of vows that droop and perish,
Ere yet the spring of life is past;
Within my heart thy love I'll cherish:
While it beats that love will last.
Ah!
That love shall last!
That love, that love, shall last,
Ah!
Bridesmaids.
Banish sorrow
Till tomorrow,
Her true love is all her own,
Rob from pleasure all his treasure,
For her true love is all her own!
Toto.
Ah! ah! all my own, all my own,
My true love is all my own!
TOTO. DORO and BRIDESMAIDS.
Ah! Banish sorrow till tomorrow,
ah! Banish sorrow till tomorrow,
Ah all my own
Her true love her true love is
all my own all her own
my own, all my own. her own, her own.

They dance off, leaving TOTO and DORO.
