when britain really ruled the waves - gilbert and sullivan lyrics
[verse, earl mountararat]
when britain really ruled the waves
in good queen bess’s time
the house of peers made no pretence
to intellectual eminence
or scholarship sublime;
yet britain won her proudest bays
in good queen bess’s glorious days!
yet britain won her proudest bays
in good queen bess’s glorious days!
[fairies & peers]
yes britain won her proudest bays
in good queen bess’s glorious days!
[verse, mountararat]
when wellington thrashed bonaparte
as every child can tell
the house of peers, throughout the war
did nothing in particular
and did it very wеll:
yet britain set the world ablazе
in good king george’s glorious days!
yet britain set the world ablaze
in good king george’s glorious days!
[fairies & peers]
yet britain set the world ablaze
in good king george’s glorious days!
[verse, mountararat]
and while the house of peers withholds
its legislative hand
and n0ble statesmen do not itch
to interfere with matters which
they do not understand
as bright will shine great britain’s rays
as in king george’s glorious days!
as bright will shine great britain’s rays
as in king george’s glorious days!
[fairies & peers]
as bright will shine great britain’s rays
as in king george’s glorious days!
