Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry -- When Fred'ric was a little lad -- Oh, better far to live and die -- Oh, false one, you have deceived me -- Climbing over rocky mountain -- Stop! ladies, pray! A man! -- Oh, is there not one maiden breast -- Oh, sisters, deaf to pity's name, for shame! -- Poor wand'ring one! -- What ought we to do, Gentle sisters, say? -- How beautifully blue the sky -- Stay, we must not lose our senses -- Hold, monsters! -- I am the very model of a modern Major-General -- Oh, men of dark and dismal fate -- Hail poetry, thou heav'n born maid! -- You may go, for you're at liberty --Pray observe the magnanimity -- Oh, dry the glist'ning tear -- Then Frederic --When the foeman bares his steel -- Now for the pirates lair! -- When you had left our pirate fold -- Away, away, my heart's on fire -- all is prepared |
|
Stay, Fred'ric stay! -- Ah, leave me not to pine alone and desolate -- Oh, here is love and here is truth -- No, I'll be brave -- Sergeant approach -- When a felon's not engaged in his employment -- A rollicking band of pirates we -- With a cat-like tread -- Hush! Hush! Not a word -- Sighing softly to the river -- Now what is this, and what is that -- We triumph now -- Away with them, and place them at the bar -- Poor wand'ring ones, though ye have surely strayed. |
