W.S. Gilbert - Were You Not to Ko-Ko Plighted lyrics

[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!
