gilbert and sullivan - strephon's a member of parliament lyrics

[verse, fairies]
strephon’s a member of parliament!
carries ev’ry bill he chooses
to his measures all assent –
showing that fairies have their uses
[chorus]
whigs and tories
dim their glories
giving an ear to all his stories –
lords and commons are both in the blues!
strephon makes them shake in their shoes!
shake in their shoes!
shake in their shoes!
shake in their shoes!
shake in their shoes!
strephon makеs them shake in their shoеs, in their shoes!

[verse, peers]
strephon’s a member of parliament!
running a+muck of all abuses
his unqualified assent
somehow n0body now refuses
[chorus]
whigs and tories
dim their glories
giving an ear to all his stories
carrying every bill he may wish:
here’s a pretty kettle of fish!
kettle of fish!
kettle of fish!
kettle of fish!
kettle of fish!
here’s a pretty kettle, a kettle of fish!
[chorus, fairies & peers]
strephon’s a member of parliament!
carries ev’ry bill he chooses
to his measures all assent –
carrying ev’ry bill he may wish
carrying every bill he may wish:
here’s a pretty kettle of fish!
