H.M.S. Pinafore: Overture ; Opening chorus ; I'm called Little Buttercup ; A maiden fair to see ; I am the captain of the Pinafore ; Never mind the why and wherefore ; For he himself has said it ; Farewell my own -- Yeoman of the Guard: When maiden loves she sits and sighs ; When our gallant Norman foes ; Is life a boon? ; I have a song to sing, O ; How say you, maiden, will you wed ; I've jibe and joke and quip and crank ; Were I thy bride ; Oh Sergeant Meryll, is it true ; Did'st thou not, Oh Leonard Meryll ; To thy fraternal care ; The pris'ner comes to meet his doom ; Night has spread her pall once more ; Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon ; Hereupon we're both agreed ; Free from his fetters grim ; Strange adventure! ; A man who would woo a fair maid -- When a wooer goes a-wooing |
