No. 23: Concerted Piece and Dance
Music by Arthur Sullivan
| Kathleen. | |
Sing a rhyme
Of "Once upon a time,"
When nothing went contrairy, contrairy, contrairy!
|
| Terence. | |
When goblins all lived underground,
In spite of all the gold they found,
Because a fairy always frowned
If a goblin met a fairy.
|
| Chorus. | |
Sing a rhyme
Of "Once upon a time,"
The goblin and the fairy.
Sing a rhyme
Of "Once upon a time,"
When nothing went contrairy! contrairy! contrairy!
|
| Bunn. | |
| I'm a goblin grim and glary -
|
| Susan. | |
| I'm a little feminine fairy -
|
| Susan. | |
Airy fairy!
Fairy Queen and Goblin King.
|
| Bunn. | |
With a leap and a creep and a cat-like spring,
The fairies' match is the Goblin King.
|
| Susan. | |
Fairy catches a glimpse of you,
She runs one way, you run too.
|
| Susan. | |
Innocent fairy -
Fairy Queen and Goblin King
|
| Chorus | |
Tune your lay,
Tune your lay.
|
| Rosie. | |
Tune your lay
To quite another day
When maids are mercenary, -cenary, -cenary.
|
| Terence. | |
And goblins bring the gold they've found
To tempt the fairies underground -
And that's the reason, I'll be bound,
One seldom sees a fairy.
|
| Chorus. | |
Tune your lay
To quite another day,
A goblin and a fairy.
Tune your lay
To quite another day
When maids are mercenary, -cenary, -cenary.
|
| Bunn. | |
| I'm a monster Millionairy -
|
| Susan. | |
| I'm a little Vanity Fairy -
|
| Bunn. | |
| Goldfish, (old fish),
|
| Susan. | |
Angle, dangle,
Fairy Queen and Golden King.
|
| Bunn. | |
Oh, I am the catch of the London spring,
The greatest match is the Golden King.
|
| Susan. | |
Fairy catches a glimpse of you,
You run one way, she runs too.
|
| Susan. | |
Vanity Fairy,
Fairy Queen and Goblin King.
|
| Rosie and Terence. | Soprano I. | Soprano II and Men. |
