Finale Act II by Gilbert and Sullivan Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1885

[PITTI-SING]
For he's gone and married Yum-Yum —

[ALL]
Yum-Yum!

[PITTI-SING]
Your anger pray bury
For all will be merry
I think you had better succumb —

[ALL]
Cumb — cumb

[PITTI-SING]
And join our expressions of glee!

[KO-KO]
On this subject I pray you be dumb —

[ALL]
Dumb — dumb!
[KO-KO]
Your notions, though many
Are not worth a penny
The word for your guidance is "Mum" —

[ALL]
Mum — Mum!

[KO-KO]
You've a very good bargain in me

[ALL]
On this subject we pray you be dumb —
Dumb — dumb!
We think you had better succumb —
Cumb — cumb!
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny
Who'll wed for a penny
There are lots of good fish in the sea
There are lots of good fish in the sea
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea
In the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea

[NANKI-POO]
The threatened cloud has passed away
[YUM-YUM]
And brightly shines the dawning day;

[NANKI-POO]
What though the night may come too soon

[YUM-YUM]
We've years and years of afternoon!

[YUM-YUM, PEEP-BO, PITTI-SING, NANKI-POO, POOH-BAH & PISH-TUSH]
Then let the throng
Our joy advance
With laughing song
And merry dance
Then let the throng
Our joy advance
With laughing song
And merry dance
With laughing song
And merry dance
With laughing song

[ALL]
With joyous shout
With joyous shout and ringing cheer
Inaugurate, inaugurate their brief career!
With joyous shout and ringing cheer
Inaugurate their brief career!
With joyous shout and ringing cheer
Inaugurate their brief career!
With song
And dance
With song and dance!
