Were You Not to Ko-Ko Plighted by Gilbert and Sullivan Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1885

[NANKI-POO]
Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted
I would say in tender tone
"Loved one, let us be united —
Let us be each other's own!"
I would merge all rank and station
Worldly sneers are nought to us
And, to mark my admiration
I would kiss you fondly thus —

[BOTH]
I/He would kiss you/me fondly thus —

[YUM-YUM]
But as I'm engaged to Ko-Ko
To embrace you thus, con fuoco
Would distinctly be no gioco
And for yam I should get toco —[YUM-YUM]


Toco

Toco

Toco

Toco

Toco! 
[NANKI-POO]
Toco

Toco

Toco

Toco

Toco![NANKI-POO]
So, In spite of all temptation
Such a theme I'll not discuss
And on no consideration
Will I kiss you fondly thus —
Will I kiss you fondly thus —
Let me make it clear to you
This is what I'll never do!
This, oh, this
Oh, this
Oh, this, —
This is what I'll never, never do![YUM-YUM]

This, oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this —

Oh, this —
Oh, this —
This, this is what I'll never do!
He'll never do!

He'll never do!

This is what he'll never, never do! 
[NANKI-POO]



This, oh, this —




I'll never do!

Oh, this —

This is what I'll never, never do!
