doyly carte opera company - if you want to know who we are lyrics
chorus of n-bles:
if you want to know who we are,
we are gentlemen of j-pan:
on many a vase and jar —
on many a screen and fan,
we figure in lively paint:
our att-tude’s queer and quaint —
you’re wrong if you think it ain’t, oh!
if you think we are worked by strings,
like a j-panese marionette,
you don’t understand these things:
it is simply court etiquette.
perhaps you suppose this throng
can’t keep it up all day long?
if that’s your idea, you’re wrong,
oh! oh!
if that’s your idea, you’re wrong
if you want to know who we are,
we are gentlemen of j-pan:
on vase and jar,
on screen and fan,
on many, many, many, many,
many, many, many, many, a jar,
oh! oh! oh! oh!
on vase and jar,
on screen and fan.
nanki-poo:
gentlemen, i pray you tell me
where a gentle maiden dwelleth,
named yum-yum, the ward of ko-ko?
in pity speak, oh speak i pray you!
a n-ble:
why, who are you who ask this question?
nanki-poo:
come gather round me, and i’ll tell you.
