gilbert and sullivan - my lord, of evidence i have no dearth lyrics

Loading...

[intro, strephon]
my lord, of evidence i have no dearth —
she is — has been — my mother from my birth!
[verse]
in babyhood
upon her lap i lay
with infant food
she moistenèd my clay;
had she withheld
the succour she supplied
by hunger quelled
your strephon might have died!

[chorus, lord chancellor]
had that refreshment been denied
indeed our strephon might have died!
[chorus, peers]
had that refreshment been denied
indeed our strephon might have died!

[verse, mountararat]
but as she’s not
his mother, it appears
why weep these hot
unnеcessary tears?
and by what laws
should we so joyously
rеjoice, because
our strephon did not die?
oh rather let us pipe our eye
because our strephon did not die!
[chorus, peers]
that’s very true — let’s pipe our eye
because our strephon did not die!

[phyllis]
go, traitorous one — for ever we must part:
to one of you, my lords, i give my heart!
[peers]
oh, rapture!
[strephon]
hear me, phyllis
[peers]
oh, rapture!
[strephon]
ere you leave me
[phyllis]
not a word — you did deceive me
[peers]
not a word — you did deceive
you did deceive her
