oh, shameless one, tremble! - gilbert and sullivan lyrics
[intro, phyllis]
oh, shameless one, tremble!
nay, do not endeavour
thy fault to dissemble
we part — and for ever!
i worshipped him blindly
he worships another!
[strephon]
attend to me kindly
this lady’s my mother!
[earl tolloller]
this lady’s his what?
[strephon]
this lady’s my mother!
[tenor peers]
this lady’s his what?
[bass peers]
he says she’s his mother!
ha, ha, ha
ha, ha, ha
ha, ha, ha
[lord chancellor]
what means this mirth unseemly
that shakes the listening earth?
[tolloller]
the joke is good extremely
and justifies our mirth
[verse, earl mountararat]
this gentleman is seen
with a maid of seventeen
a*taking of his dolce far niente;
and wonders he’d achieve
for he asks us to believe
she’s his mother — and he’s nearly five*and*twenty!
[verse, lord chancellor]
recollect yourself, i pray
and be careful what you say —
as the ancient romans said, festina lente
for i really do not see
how so young a girl could be
the mother of a man of five*and*twenty
[peers]
ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
