behold the lord high executioner - d'oyly carte opera company lyrics

Loading...

chorus:
behold the lord high executioner
a personage of n-ble rank and t-tle —
a dignified and potent officer,
whose functions are particularly vital!
defer, defer,
to the lord high executioner!
defer, defer,
to the n-ble lord, to the n-ble lord,
to the lord high executioner!

ko-ko:
taken from the county jail
by a set of curious chances;
liberated then on bail,
on my own recognizances;
wafted by a favouring gale
as one sometimes is in trances,
to a height that few can scale,
save by long and weary dances;
surely, never had a male
under such like circ-mstances
so adventurous a tale,
which may rank with most romances.

ko-ko:
taken from the county jail
by a set of curious chances; surely, never had a male
so adventurous a tale.
chorus:
taken from the county jail
liberated then on bail,
surely, never had a male
so adventurous a tale.

chorus:
defer, defer,
to the lord high executioner!
defer, defer,
to the n-ble lord,
to the n-ble lord high executioner!
bow down, bow down,
to the lord high executioner!
defer, defer,
to the n-ble, n-ble lord,
to the high executioner!
