doyly carte opera company - a more humane mikado كلمات الأغنية
a more humane mikado never
did in j-pan exist,
to n-body second,
i’m certainly reckoned
a true philanthropist.
it is my very humane endeavour
to make, to some extent,
each evil liver
a running river
of harmless merriment.
my object all sublime
i shall achieve in time–
to let the punishment fit the crime–
the punishment fit the crime;
and make each prisoner pent
unwillingly represent
a source of innocent merriment!
of innocent merriment!
all prosy dull society sinners,
who chatter and bleat and bore,
are sent to hear sermons
from mystical germans
who preach from ten till four.
the amateur tenor, whose vocal villainies
all desire to shirk,
shall, during off-hours,
exhibit his powers
to madame tussaud’s waxwork.
the lady who dyes a chemical yellow
or stains her grey hair puce,
or pinches her figure,
is painted with vigour
with permanent walnut juice.
the idiot who, in railway carriages,
scribbles on window-panes,
we only suffer
to ride on a buffer
in parliamentary trains.
my object all sublime, etc.
chorus. his object all sublime, etc.
the advertising quack who wearies
with tales of countless cures,
his teeth, i’ve enacted,
shall all be extracted
by terrified amateurs.
the music-hall singer attends a series
of m-sses and fugues and “ops”
by bach, interwoven
with spohr and beethoven,
at cl-ssical monday pops.
the billiard sharp who any one catches,
his doom’s extremely hard–
he’s made to dwell–
in a dungeon cell
on a spot that’s always barred.
and there he plays extravagant matches
in fitless finger-stalls
on a cloth untrue
with a twisted cue
and elliptical billiard b-lls!
my object all sublime, etc.
chorus. his object all sublime, etc.
enter pooh-bah, ko-ko, and pitti-sing. all kneel
(pooh-bah hands a paper to ko-ko.)
