Thou Art Welcome to Try (Act One, Scene One)

[TOWNSMAN 1]
Beg thou, or borrow
To make up the sum
Thou art welcome
To try

Bring up the money by set of sun
By set of sun
Then art thou doomed to die
Art thou doomed to die

[ENSEMBLE]
Beg thou, or borrow
To make up the sum
Make up the sum, make up the sum
Thou art welcome to try

Bring up the money by set of sun
By set of sun, by set of sun
Then, old man, you'll die
Old man, you'll die, old man, you'll die

[WOMEN]
Try all the friends that thou hast in Ephesus

[ANGELO]
You'll find there's nobody quite so deaf as us

[EGEON]
My comfort when your words are done
My life ends with the evening sun

[NELL]
Do something

[OLD MAN]
Board something

[BUTLER]
Filch it or ferret it

[TOWNSMAN 3]
Steal something

[TOWNSMAN 4]
Deal something

[TOWNSMAN 3]
Pinch it

[WOMAN 2]
Inherit it

[WOMEN]
Scrimp of it, scrape of it
Take a collection

[TOWNSMAN 3]
Demand it with menaces-

[SOLDIER]
Lead an armed insurrection!

[TOWNSMAN 5]
Play for it

[OLD MAN]
Pray for it

[BUTLER]
Make out a note for it
Write for it

[BUTLER 2]
Fight for it!

[ANGELO]
I'll hold your coat for it

[WOMEN]
Sing for it, dance for it
Turn somersaults

[NELL]
Cling to the chance of it

[ENSEMBLE]
And you will get results

Hey!
Con out or conjure
To make up the sum, fill in the cup
Without a rub
Thou art welcome to try (thou art welcome to try)

But if you're short when we
Count the sum
Finger and thumb, then
Old man, you'll die
So you must try
Or you will die
So you must try
