No. 9 - Concerted Piece - We're going to call on the Marquis
Fairfax: | This infamous lord
shall have his reward My anger each moment increases. Let's quietly slip away to our ship And blow the old beggar to pieces. |
Cunningham: | Of course to bombard
a fellow's backyard Is jolly good fun, but you'll rue it! You'd better instead try punching his head; We'd like to be there while you do it! |
All: | We're going to call on the Marquis To pay off a nice little score And won't he be chatty when rat-a-tat-tatty We knock at his dignified door? We've something to say to the Marquis It's something too funny to miss, For after pooh-poohing all how-do-you doing We're going to say it like this! |
Officers: | You'll pardon us, pray,
for asking the way, Our ignorance kindly forgiving, But Oh! we are so impatient to know Where Mister Imari is living. |
Geisha: | We'll show you the road
to reach his abode, Delighted your favour at earning. Simplicity quite, keep well to the right, And carefully look for a turning. |
