Contents Disc 1. The Mikado. Three little maids from school are we ; A wand'ring minstrel I ; On a tree by a river a little tom tit ; Behold the Lord High Executioner ; As some day it may happen that a victim must be found ; The sun, whose rays are all ablaze ; Here's a how-de-do! ; The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la ; There is beauty in the bellow of the blast ; For he's gone and married Yum-Yum -- H.M.S. Pinafore. When I was a lad ; I'm called Little Buttercup ; Never mind the why and the wherefore ; We shall sail the ocean blue ; I'm called the Captain of the Pinafore ; A joy! Oh rapture unforeseen -- Trial by jury. When I, good friends, was called to the bar -- The sorcerer. My name is John Wellington Wells -- Patience. The soldiers of our Queen ; Am I alone and unobserved? ; If you're anxious for to shine ; So go to him and say to him -- The yeomen of the Guard. When our gallant Norman foes ; I have a song to sing, O! ; When a maiden loves, she sits and sighs ; Tower warders, under orders.
Disc 2. The pirates of Penzance. With cat-like tread ; Poor wand'ring one! ; I am the very model of a modern major-general ; When the foreman bares his steel ; When a felon's not engaged in his employment -- Ruddigore. I know a youth who loves a little maid) ; When the night wind howls in the chimney cowls ; My eyes are fully open to my awful situation -- Iolanthe. Loudly let the trumpet bray ; Love unrequited ; If you go in you're sure to win ; When all night long a chap remains ; Said I to myself, said I ; When Britain really ruled the waves -- The gondoliers. We're called gonolieri, but that's a vagary ; In enterprise of martial kind ; Take a pair of sparkling eyes ; Dance a cachucha, fandango, bolero ; From the sunny Spanish shore ; I stole the Prince ; Then one of us will be a queen -- Princess Ida. If you give me your attention ; The woman of the wisest wit ; Built upon a rock ; Whene'er I spoke sarcastic joke ; This helmet I suppose.
