High Jerry Ho!
No. 5, Sung by Arrostino and Chorus
 MIDI File 1 minutes 59 seconds.
Arrostino.
- The Duke and the Duchess as they travel through the lands
- With the clips of their whips and their high jerry ho!
- Will pass by the rock where that monastery stands,
- In a first-class fine-folk fashion,
- With their high jerry ho!
- Their postilion in vermilion
- And the rattle of their cattle,
- And their high jerry ho!
All. - With their high jerry
ho!
- Their postilion in vermilion
- And the rattle of their cattle,
- And their high jerry ho!
- Their high, their
high jerry ho!
Arrostino. - Minestra they’ll find as a tottering old crone,
- With her moans and her groans and her high jerry ho!
- Who has tumbled down the rock, and is lying all alone,
- And her cries will excite their compassion —
- With her high jerry ho!
- And her cropper so improper
- And her fussy, “Lawk ha’ mussy,”
- And her high jerry ho!
All. - With her high jerry ho!
- And her cropper so improper
- And her fussy, “Lawk ha’ mussy,”
- And her high jerry ho!
- Her high, her high
jerry ho!
Arrostino. - She’ll beg that the Duke will convey her to the friars,
- With their splint and their lint and their high jerry ho!
- Then he’ll take her up at once through the brambles and the briars;
- And her woes to the monks she’ll explain them,
- With their high jerry ho!
- With their wrappings and their strappings,
- And their cackle on diachylon —
- Their high jerry ho!
All. - With their high jerry
ho!
- With their wrappings and their strappings,
- And their cackle on diachylon —
- Their high jerry ho!
- Their high, their
high jerry ho!
Arrostino. - By this time the monks will have fallen into our
clutches,
- With their cries of surprise and their high jerry ho!
- And, disguised in the robes, we’ll receive the Duke and Duchess;
- And in custody close we’ll detain them,
- With their high jerry ho!
- And the pusses of those cusses,
- And a ransom very handsome
- And a high jerry ho!
All. - With their high jerry
ho!
- And the pusses of those cusses,
- And a ransom very handsome
A
- nd a high jerry ho!
- A high, a high jerry
ho!
Exeunt all.
