Gilbert & Sullivan 1

Loudly let the trumpets bray
Tum-tum-tara, tum-tum-tara

[TIM Spoken: Ladies and gentlemen, we present for you now the lost songs of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado". These songs were censored at the time by Queen Victoria herself because of their intense political and revolutionary nature. We present them to you now, translated from the original Japanese]

Loudly bang the sounding brasses
Bom-bom babom bom-bom-bom

Can we walk hand in hand through the park?
We'll whisper sweet nothings and love sonnets by the Bard
It's a love I'll know will always last
If we walk hand in hand through the park

Shall we stroll along the promenade?
I shall buy you ice-cream treats and shield you from the sun
My heart beats louder than Venus did for Mars
Shall we stroll along the promenade?
M'Lord high executioner!

Will you staple-gun my genitals to the wall?
I wouldn't normally beg, but I've been a trifle tense
We could both have a ball
If you staple-gun my genitals to the wall

[TIM Spoken: Gilbert and Sullivan!]
