the d’oyly carte opera company – i once was a very abandoned person lyrics

duet. – despard and margaret.
i once was a very abandoned person – making the most of evil chances.
n-body could conceive a worse ‘un – even in all the old romances.
i blush for my wild extravagances,
but be so kind
to bear in mind,
we were the victims of circ-mstances!
that is one of our blameless dances.(
dance.)
i was once an exceedingly odd young lady – suffering much from spleen and vapours.
clergymen thought my conduct shady –she didn’t spend much upon linen-drapers.
it certainly entertained the gapers.
my ways were strange
beyond all range – paragraphs got into all the papers.
we only cut respectable capers.(
dance.)
i’ve given up all my wild proceedings.
my taste for a wandering life is waning.
now i’m a dab at penny readings.
they are not remarkably entertaining.
a moderate livelihood we’re gaining.
in fact we rule
a national school.
des.
the duties are dull, but i’m not complaining. (
dance.) this sort of thing takes a deal of training!
