Now I am earwormed (http://math.boisestate.edu/gas/grand_duke/libretto.txt):

ALL. A King!
He's drawn a King!
Sing Hearts and Diamonds, Spades and Clubs!

ALL. (dancing) How strange a thing!
He's drawn a King!
An excellent card � his chance it aids �
Sing Hearts and Diamonds, Spades and Clubs �
Sing Diamonds, Hearts and Clubs and Spades!

NOT. (to LUDWIG) Now take a card with heart of grace �
(Whatever our fate, let's play our parts).

LUD. (drawing card) Hurrah, hurrah! � I've drawn an Ace!

ALL. An Ace!
He's drawn an Ace!
Sing Clubs and Diamonds, Spades and Hearts!

ALL. (dancing) He's drawn an Ace!
Observe his face �
Such rare good fortune falls to few �
Sing Clubs and Diamonds, Spades and Hearts �
Sing Clubs, Spades, Hearts and Diamonds too!

NOT. That both these maids may keep their troth,
And never misfortune them befall,
I'll hold 'em as trustee for both �

ALL. He'll hold 'em both!
Yes, he'll hold 'em both!
Sing Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades and all!
