Babes in Toyland Quote

Gonzorgo: We don't know how to tell you this, Miss Mary. No, we don't know how to tell you this at all. We were 20 leagues at sea and it was calm as it could be, when out of the north, there came a sudden squall! He was standing at the wheel he was, Miss Mary, and across the deck, the might ocean roared, and the mizzen broke and fell and we heard the fellow yell as it bashed him down and swept him overboard!
[sung]

Gonzorgo: Slowly, slowly, he sank into the sea! Though we tried to save him, he sank into the sea!

Mary Contrary: But who, sir? Who sank?

Gonzorgo: It was Tom, ma'am. Tom sank.

Mary Contrary: Tom sank?

Mother Goose: Tom sank?

Sylvester: Who's Tom Sank?

Barnaby: What preposterous rumor are you spreading, sailors? Go on your way, unless you have some evidence, some proof for what you say?

Gonzorgo: Oh, yes, sir!

Mary Contrary: What proof do you have?

Gonzorgo: We are bringing you his personal belongings, and in his hat, we found this soggy note. Though the salty ocean spray somehow washed the words away, I'll see if I can't decipher what he wrote. Darling Mary, he begins, or is that dearest? Yes, that's term he uses we agree. Now the boy goes on to tell how he hopes this finds you well. It's too bad he slowly sank into the sea.
[sung]

Gonzorgo: Slowly, slowly, he sank into the sea! With no life preserver, he sank into the sea!

Mary Contrary: But this was to be our wedding day. Why would Tom be at sea?

Barnaby
