W.S. Gilbert - Your revels cease lyrics

[KATISHA] Your revels cease! Assist 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 succumb — [ALL] Cumb-cumb! [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 succumb — cumb — cumb! 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!
