the mikado: tit willow - gilbert & sullivan lyrics

Loading...

on a tree by a river a little tom-t-t
sang “willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”
and i said to him, “d-cky-bird, why do you sit
singing willow, t-twillow, t-twillow’?”
“is it weakness of intellect, birdie?” i cried,
“or a rather tough worm in your little inside?”
with a shake of his poor little head, he replied,
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”

he slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bough,
singing “willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”
and a cold perspiration bespangled his brow,
oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!
he sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave,
then he plunged himself into the billowy wave,
and an echo arose from the suicide’s grave —
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”

now i feel just as sure as i’m sure that my name
isn’t willow, t-twillow, t-twillow,
that ’twas blighted affection that made him exclaim
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”
and if you remain callous and obdurate, i
shall perish as he did, and you will know why,
though i probably shall not exclaim as i die,
“oh, willow, t-twillow, t-twillow!”
