Pro Arte Orchestra - Sullivan: The Mikado or The Town of Titipu, Act 1: No. 5, Chorus with Song, "Behold the Lord High Executioner!" (Nobles, Ko-Ko) lyrics

Artist: Pro Arte Orchestra

album: Sullivan - The Mikado


Behold the Lord High Executioner!
A personage of noble rank and title –
A dignified and potent officer,
Whose functions are particularly vital!
Defer, defer,
To the Lord High Executioner!
To the Nobel Lord
To the Nobel Lord
To the Lord High Executioner!
To the Nobel Nobel Lord High Executioner
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 circumstances
So adventurous a tale,
Which may rank with most romances.
Taken from the county jail
By a set of curious chances;
Liberated then on bail,
Surely, never had a male
So adventurous a tale,
Defer, defer,
To the Lord High Executioner!
To the Nobel Lord
To the Nobel Lord
To the Lord High Executioner!
To the Nobel Nobel Lord High Executioner
