English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the Off-Broadway musical.

Algie:
You can forget London’s formalities
And go out on a visit
To Bunbury!

You should make sure to have a friend
In someplace in the country you like.
Then you can have a little romance in your life
With Bunbury!

Somewhere where pretty girls
Are always smiling at you
If you use a fake name
A whirlwind romance is easy!

Nobody can blame you!
Just go to see your sick friend at night
Night is the best time
For Bunbury!

Don’t be embarrassed
Do whatever you want
And don’t let anything catch you!

If you’re the kind of man who wants to spend your time that way
Then the best type of friend for you to have
Is Bunbury!

In this formal

Jack:
Stifling

Algie:
Era, if you can’t

Jack:
Let loose

Both:
Once in awhile,
We couldn’t bear living!

We need to have some fun once in awhile
And the most helpful person for that
Is Bunbury!
Anyone would want
A little free time
With nothing to hold them back

Jack:
I could have a chance to talk to the ladies in London!

Algie:
If you’re the kind of man who wants to spend your time that way
Then the best type of friend for you to have
Is Bunbury!
