your revels cease! assist me, all of you! - gilbert and sullivan lyrics

[katisha]
your revels cease!
-ssist me, all of you!

[chorus]
why, who is this whose evil eyes
rain blight on our festivities?

[katisha]
i claim my perjured lover, nanki-poo!
oh fool to shun delight that never cloy!

[chorus]
go leave thy deadly work undone

[katisha]
come back, oh, shallow fool
come back to joy

[chorus]
away, away, ill-favored one!

[nanki-poo]
ah! ’tis katisha! the maid of whom i told you!

[katisha]
no, you shall not go
these arms shall thus enfold you

[katisha]
oh fool, that fleest,my hallowed joys!
oh blind, that seest, no equipoise!
oh rash, that judgest from half the whole!
oh base, that grudgest love’s lightest dole!
thy heart unbind, oh fool, oh blind!
give me my place, oh rash, oh base!
thy heart unbind,give me my place!
oh fool, oh blind, oh rash, oh base, thy heart unbind!
give me, give me my place!

[chorus]
if she’s thy bride, restore her place
oh fool, oh blind, oh rash, oh base!

[katisha]
pink cheek, that rulest
where wisdom serves!
bright eye, that foolest
heroic nerves!
rose lip, that scornest
lore-laden years!
smooth tongue, that warnest
who rightly hears!
thy doom is nigh
pink cheek, bright eye!
thy knell is rung
pose lip, smooth tongue!
thy doom is nigh
thy knell is rung
pink cheek, bright eye, rose lip, smooth tongue!
thy doom is nigh!
thy knell, thy knell is rung!

[chorus]
if true her tale, thy knell is rung
pink cheek, bright eye, rose lip, smooth tongue!
[katisha]
thy doom is nigh

thy knell is rung

thy knell, thy knell is rung! [chorus]
if true her tale, thy knell is rung
if true her tale, thy knell is rung
thy knell is rung!

[pitti-sing]
away, nor prosecute your quest —
from our intention, well expressed
you cannot turn us!
the state of your connubial views
towards the person you accuse
does not concern us!

[pitti-sing]
for he’s going to marry yum-yum —

[all]
yum-yum!

[pitti-sing]
your anger pray bury
for all will be merry
i think you had better succ-mb —

[all]
c-mb-c-mb!

[pitti-sing]
and join our expressions of glee
on this subject i pray you be dumb —

[all]
dumb-dumb!

[pitti-sing]
you’ll find there are many
who’ll wed for a penny
the word for your guidance is “mum” —

[all]
mum-mum!

[pitti-sing]
there’s lots of good fish in the sea!

[all]
on this subject i pray you be dumb — dumb — dumb
we think you had better succ-mb — c-mb — c-mb!
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!
