when all night long a chap remains - gilbert and sullivan lyrics

[verse, private willis]
when all night long a chap remains
on sentry*go, to chase monotony
he exercises of his brains
that is, assuming that he’s got any
though never nurtured in the lap
of luxury, yet i admonish you
i am an intellectual chap
and think of things that would astonish you
[chorus]
i often think it’s comical – fal, lal, la!
how nature always does contrive – fal, lal, la!
that every boy and every gal
that’s born into the world alive
is either a little liberal
or else a little conservative!
fal, lal, la!
[verse]
when in that house m.p.’s divide
if they’ve a brain and cerebеllum, too
they’ve got to leavе that brain outside
and vote just as their leaders tell ’em to
but then the prospect of a lot
of dull m. p.’s in close proximity
all thinking for themselves, is what
no man can face with equanimity
[chorus]
then let’s rejoice with loud fal la – fal la la!
that nature always does contrive – fal lal la!
that every boy and every gal
that’s born into the world alive
is either a little liberal
or else a little conservative!
fal lal la!
