[1:55 - 3:00] [First Musical Interval - 1 minute 5 seconds]
[Instrumentation: Frantic operetta march featuring playful woodwinds, sweeping violins, and theatrical brass accents. Orchestral flute soloist named Flute leads a fast melody, accompanied by percussionist named Discussion.]
[3:00 - 3:45] [Verse 2]
[vocal passage] [female vocalist, operatic soprano, theatrical, fierce, wildly funny]
I dragged him straight home to my father’s grand hall!
My father turned purple and leaned on the wall!
"A clerk!" screamed his Lordship, "A pen-pushing scamp!"
I shouted right back, "He’s a poet, you cramp!
Give us your blessing this moment, or look—
I’ll elope with this Scotsman and burn your rulebook!"
Papa turned dead pale, threw his hands in the air,
And blessed us in panic from his velvet armchair!
[3:45 - 4:25] [Chorus]
[vocal passage] [female vocalist, operatic soprano, triumphant, powerful, fast-paced operatic flair]
Oh, Hamish MacTavish, my project, my prize!
I saw all the genius behind your dazed eyes!
Though you’re kicking and fussing and gasping for air,
I’m dragging you up to the novelist’s chair!
With a tug at your collar and a push to your head,
I’ll mold you to glory before we are wed!

[4:25 - 5:25] [Second Musical Interval - 1 minute]
[Instrumentation: Driving orchestral chase sequence, rapid-fire staccato strings, playful horn calls. Flute soloist named Flute trades rapid passages with percussionist named Discussion.]
[5:25 - 6:45] [Verse 3 & Grand Finale]
[vocal passage] [female vocalist, operatic soprano, shifting from haughty British to thick Scottish brogue, wildly energetic, bossy, hilarious]
I bullied his rhyming, I made the man write,
Till editors cheered for his genius at night!
And now, och aye laddie! Just hark to my tongue!
His bonnie sweet brogue is the song that I've sung!
Forget Earl Grey tea! Pass the haggis and broth!
I’m a grand highland lassie all wrapped in his cloth!
Och, Hamish, my wee bairn, ye've conquered my mind,
A grander sweet poet ye never will find!
[Grand operatic orchestral finale with sweeping strings, triumphant brass, and a high-note operatic soprano Scottish flourish]

[0:00 - 0:30] [Intro: Rapid orchestral overture with frantic violin runs, lively woodwind dialogue, and bold brass accents setting a theatrical, chaotic tone] [0:30 - 1:15] [Verse 1] [vocal passage] [female vocalist, operatic soprano, crisp British accent, haughty, triumphantly hilarious] My sleuth found his desk in a dimly lit space, I marched through the door and I stared at his face! Poor Hamish sat frozen, his mouth open wide, As I seized his lapels and declared: "You’re my bride!" Well—groom, to be precise! But he gasped for his breath, Looks like my sudden entrance near scared him to death! He stammered of ledgers, his jaw hit the floor, While I grabbed up his arm and I marched out the door! [1:15 - 1:55] [Chorus] [vocal passage] [female vocalist, operatic soprano, witty, rapid patter, domineering and joyful] Oh, Hamish MacTavish, my project, my prize! I saw all the genius behind your dazed eyes! Though you’re kicking and fussing and gasping for air, I’m dragging you up to the novelist’s chair! With a tug at your collar and a push to your head, I’ll mold you to glory before we are wed!
