Lyrics

José/Sancho: (Whistling)

Mr Grigg: Hullo! What’s that? ’Twasn’t a cat!

Something I heard, like a bird!

No! No!

’Tis a pee-wit, gone in a fit,

Oh, this is very absurd!

I think that the lens I can clearly direct,

And at last I have got quite a charming effect.

Ah, now to arrange it. A capital plan.

I’ve sighted a rock.

No, ’tis a man!

Sancho: Ha! Ha! You have hit on a capital plan! I’m a man!

Mr Grigg: And another!

José: Another young man. Well!

Sancho: Well!

Mr Grigg: Quite well, thank you!

José: Nay, your hand.

Sancho: Your hand.

Mr Grigg: Good morning! I can’t stay.

José and Sancho: You must.

Mr Grigg: I must! You’re fond of jokes.

José: Remain.

Sancho: Explain.

Mr Grigg: What horrid looking folks!

José: I’m called the Wolf!

Mr Grigg: Indeed! (A grasp of iron).

They shouldn’t call you that.

Sancho: And I the Lion!

Both: We’re members of a robber band,

We offer you, as Captain, the command.

Mr Grigg: Upon my word, I do not understand,

In fact I’d rather not.

Both: Our Captain you must be!

Refuse! Then choose, be Captain or be shot!

Mr Grigg: What?

Both: Shot!

Mr Grigg: Not –

Both: Shot!

Mr Grigg: What?

Both: Shot!

Mr Grigg: For what?

Both: Yes, shot!

Mr Grigg: Well, agreed!

Both: ’Tis agreed!

Dance the bolero! Dance the bolero!

Mr Grigg: Mad! ’Tis my belief.

Both: Wild tarantellas will welcome our Chief.

Dance the bolero!

Mr Grigg: Why the bolero?

Both: Bolero! Bolero! The robber’s pet,

We’ll dance to the pipe and the gay castanet.

Mr Grigg: Bolero! Bolero! A dreadful set!

I wish that I’d never these gentlemen met.

All: Bolero! Bolero! …

We’ll dance to the sound of the pipe …

Written by: Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir Francis Cowley Burnand
