No. 16 - Song - Governor and Chorus
| Governor: | We are that person glorious, |
| Chorus: | The Governor, the Governor; |
| Governor: | And no one dares to equal us The Governor of Villaya. We keep the peace or wage the war, |
| Chorus: | The Governor, the Governor; |
| Governor: | And common people bow before The Governor of Villaya. We are the greatest man That is living at the present day, Ah! We wonder how we can Do it upon our official pay, Ah! Stern in the battle's roar, On a holiday we're bright and gay, Ah! We are the Governor Of the interesting city of Villaya. |
| Chorus: | He is the greatest man That is living at the present day, Ah! We wonder how he can Do it upon his official pay, Ah! Stern in the battle's roar, On a holiday he's bright and gay, Ah! He is the Governor Of the interesting city of Villaya. |
| Governor: | But if a nice young girl trips by, |
| Chorus: | The Governor, the Governor; |
| Governor: | There's a wink in the naughty wicked eye Of the Governor of Villaya. At night we wander round her door. |
| Chorus: | The Governor, the Governor; |
| Governor: | At serenades we rather score; The Governor of Villaya! We take our light guitar, And a pretty prelude thus we play, Ah! We call her Sun and Star, Not to mention Moon and Milky Way, Ah! She sighs when we implore, And the sequel we decline to say. Ah! We are the Governor Of the exemplary city of Villaya. |
| Chorus: | He takes his light guitar, And a pretty prelude tries to play, Ah! He calls the girl his Star, Not to mention Moon and Milky Way, Ah! She calls for an encore, That, at least, is what he means to say. Ah! Fie on the Governor Of the highly moral city of Villaya. Viva! |
