You showed me how the world should sound (Mr. Bell)
Built a machine to write it down, to show me how the world should sound
"Electrifying!" I replied (Mr. Bell)
Your shining eyes grew twice as wide; you asked if I would be your bride

Oh Alexander, can't you see that I adore you?
Oh Alexander, have I ever asked for anything before?
I've packed your bag
So you can take this train to Philadelphia
Or you can take any other -- 'but this is your last chance, your last chance lover

All year long, you've had no peace (Mr. Bell)
Tweaking wires and batteries, discovering electric speech
You've got to know that you've got to go (Mr. Bell)
Take you to the Centennial show, cause darling the world must know!

Alexander, you argue but I'm calling your bluff
Alexander, yes you're busy, but there's time enough
I've paid your fare
You can take this train to Philadelphia
Or you can take any other -- 'cause this is your last chance, your last chance lover

If you can't do this, just to please me
Then take off your ring, release me
I'm turning around, I'm leaving you here
Your protests fall on deaf ears
So you can take this train to Philadelphia
Or you can take any other. But this is your last chance...
This is your last
Chance
This is your last chance lover
