W.S. Gilbert - Hold, Monsters lyrics

[MABEL] Hold, monsters! Ere your pirate caravanserai Proceed, against our will, to wed us all, Just remember that we are Wards in Chancery, And father is a Major-General! [SAMUEL] We'd better pause, or danger may befall; Their father is a Major-General! [GIRLS] Yes, yes, he is a Major-General! [MAJOR-GENERAL] Yes, yes, I am a Major-General! [SAMUEL] For he is a Major-General! [ALL] He is! Hurrah for the Major-General! [MAJOR-GENERAL] And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Major-General! [ALL] It is! Hurrah for the Major-General! Hurrah for the Major-General!
