gilbert and sullivan - go away, madam, i should say, madam lyrics

[verse, lord tolloller]
go away, madam;
i should say, madam
you display, madam
shocking taste
it is rude, madam
to intrude, madam
with your brood, madam
brazen+faced!
you come here, madam
interfere, madam
with a peer, madam
(i am one)
you’re aware, madam
what you dare, madam
so take care, madam
and begone!

[verse, fairies]
let us stay, madam;
i should say, madam
they display, madam
shocking taste
it is rude, madam
to allude, madam
to your brood, madam
brazen+faced!
we don’t fear, madam
any peer, madam
though, my dear madam
this is one
they will stare, madam
when aware, madam
what they dare, madam
what they’ve done!
[bridge, fairy queen]
bearded by these puny mortals!
i will launch from fairy portals
all the most terrific thunders
in my armoury of wonders!
[bridge, phyllis]
should they launch terrific wonders
all would then repent their blunders
surely these must be immortals

[chorus, fairies]
let us stay, madam;
i should say, madam
they display, madam
shocking taste
it is rude, madam
to allude, madam
to your brood, madam
brazen+faced!
we don’t fear, madam
any peer, madam
though, my dear madam
this is one
they will stare, madam
when aware, madam
what they dare, madam
when aware, madam
what they dare, madam
what they’ve done!
[overlayed, peers]
go away, madam;
i should say, madam
you display, madam
shocking taste
it is rude, madam
to intrude, madam
with your brood, madam
brazen+faced!
you come here, madam
interfere, madam
with a peer, madam
(i am one)
you’re aware, madam
what you dare, madam
so take care, madam
what you dare, madam
so take care, madam
and begone!
[overlayed, fairy queen]
bearded by these puny mortals!
i will launch from fairy portals
all the most terrific thunders
in my armoury of wonders!
my armoury of wonders!
they will soon, will soon repent!
[overlayed, phyllis]
surely these must be immortals
should they launch from fairy portals
all their most terrific wonders
we should then repent our blunders!
should repent
repent our blunders!
we should then
should then repent!
[verse, fairy queen]
oh! chancellor unwary
it’s highly necessary
your tongue to teach
respectful speech —
your attitude to vary!
your badinage so airy
your manner arbitrary
are out of place
when face to face
with an influential fairy!
[peers]
we never knew
we were talking to
an influential fairy!

[verse, lord chancellor]
a plague on this vagary
i’m in a nice quandary!
of hasty tone
with dames unknown
i ought to be more chary;
it seems that she’s a fairy
from andersen’s library
and i took her for
the proprietor
of a ladies’ seminary!
[peers]
we took her for
the proprietor
of a ladies’ seminary!
[fairy queen]
when next your houses do assemble
you may tremble!
[celia]
our wrath, when gentlemen offend us
is tremendous!
[leila]
they meet, who underrate our calling
doom appalling!
[fairy queen]
take down our sentence as we speak it
and he shall wreak it!
[peers]
oh, spare us!
