Sullivan, A: The Mikado

A wand'ring minstrel, I (Nanki-Poo, Nobles)

Our great Mikado, virtuous man (Pish-Tush, Nobles)

Young man, despair (Pooh-Bah, Nanki-Poo, Pish-Tush)

And have I journey'd for a month (Nanki-Poo, Pooh-Bah)

Behold the Lord High Executioner! (Nobles, Ko-Ko)

As some day it may happen (Ko-Ko, Nobles)

Comes a train of little ladies (Girls)

Three little maids from school (Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing, Girls)

So please you, sir, we much regret (Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing, Pooh-Bah, Girls)

Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted (Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum)

I am so proud (Pooh-Bah, Ko-Ko, Pish-Tush)

With aspect stern (Nobles, Girls, Pooh-Bah, Ko-Ko, Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum, Others)

Your revels cease (Katisha, Nanki-Poo, Pitti-Sing, Yum-Yum, Others)

Braid the raven hair (Girls, Pitti-Sing)

The sun, whose rays are all ablaze (Yum-Yum)

Brightly dawns our wedding day (Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing, Nanki-Poo, Pish-Tush)

Here's a how-de-do! (Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo, Ko-Ko)

Miya sama, miya sama (Girls, Nobles, Mikado, Katisha)

A more humane Mikado (Mikado, Nobles)

The criminal cried (Ko-Ko, Nobles, Pitti-Sing, Pooh-Bah)

See how the Fates their gifts allot (Mikado, Pitti-Sing, Pooh-Bah, Ko-Ko, Katisha)

The flowers that bloom in the spring (Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing, Pooh-Bah, Ko-Ko)

Alone, and yet alive (Katisha)

Hearts do not break (Katisha)

On a tree by a river a little tom-tit (Ko-Ko)

There is beauty in the bellow of the blast (Katisha, Ko-Ko)

For he's gone and married Yum-Yum (Pitti-Sing, Ko-Ko, Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum, Others)
