Gilbert & Sullivan: Mikado, Trial By Jury

The Mikado (Operette in 2 Akten)
Overture
If you want to know who we are
Gentlemen, I pray you tell me maiden
A wand’ring minstrel I
Our great Mikado, virtuous man
Young man, despair
And I have journey’d for a month
Behold the Lord High Executioner
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found
Comes a train of little ladies
Three little maids from school are we
So please you, Sir, we much regret
Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted
I am so proud… if I allowed
With aspect stern and gloomy stride
The threaten’d cloud has pass’d away
Your revels cease! Assist me, all of you!
Oh fool, that fleest my hallow’d joys!
For he’s going to marry Yum-Yum
The hour of gladness is dead and gone
Ye torrents roar! Ye tempests howl!
Braid the raven hair, weave the supple tresses
The Sun, whose rays are all ablaze
Brightly dawns our wedding day
Here’s a how-de-do!
Miya sama, miya sama, o n’mma no maye ni
From ev’ry kind of man obedience I expect
A more humane Mikado never did in Japan exist
The criminal cried as he dropp’d him down
See how the fates their gifts allot
The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la
Alone, and yet alive
Hearts do not break! They sting and ache
On a tree by a river a little tom tit
There is beauty in the bellow of the blast
Fanfare
For he’s gone and married Yum-Yum
Trial by Jury (Operette in 1 Akt)
Hark the hour of ten is sounding
When first my old, old love I knew
All hail great judge
When I, good friends, was called to the bar
Swear thou the jury
Where is the plaintiff?
Oh, never, never, never
May it please you, my Lud!
That she is reeling
Oh, gentlemen, listen, I pray
That seems a reasonable proposition
A nice dilemma we have here
I love him, I love him
Oh, joy unbounded
