          On my own recognizances��

     Wafted by a favouring gale

          As one sometimes is in trances��

     To a height that few can scale��

          Save by long and weary dances��

     Surely�察�never had a male

          Under such like circumstances

     So adventurous a tale��

          Which may rank with most romances。



CHORUS。             Defer�察�defer��

          To the Lord High Executioner�察�etc。



     KO。  Gentlemen�察�I'm much touched by this reception。  I can

only trust that by strict attention to duty I shall ensure a

continuance of those favours which it will ever be my study to

deserve。  If I should ever be called upon to act professionally��

I am happy to think that there will be no difficulty in finding

plenty of people whose loss will be a distinct gain to society at

large。



             SONGKO´KO with CHORUS OF MEN。



As some day it may happen that a victim must be found��

     I've got a little listI've got a little list

Of society offenders who might well be underground��

     And who never would be missedwho never would be missed��

There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs

All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs

All children who are up in dates�察�and floor you with 'em flat

All persons who in shaking hands�察�shake hands with you like

     that

And all third persons who on spoiling ttettes insist

     They'd none of 'em be missedthey'd none of 'em be missed��



CHORUS。   He's got 'em on the listhe's got 'em on the list��

               And they'll none of 'em be missedthey'll none of

                    'em be missed。

There's the banjo serenader�察�and the others of his race��

     And the piano´organistI've got him on the list��

And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face��

     They never would be missedthey never would be missed��

Then the idiot who praises�察�with enthusiastic tone��

All centuries but this�察�and every country but his own��

And the lady from the provinces�察�who dresses like a guy��

And who ;doesn't think she waltzes�察�but would rather like to

     try;��

And that singular anomaly�察�the lady novelist

     I don't think she'd be missedI'm sure she'd not he missed��



CHORUS。   He's got her on the listhe's got her on the list��

               And I don't think she'll be missedI'm sure

                    she'll not be missed��



And that Nisi Prius nuisance�察�who just now is rather rife��

     The Judicial humoristI've got him on the list��

All funny fellows�察�comic men�察�and clowns of private life

     They'd none of 'em be missedthey'd none of 'em be missed。

And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind��

Such asWhat d'ye call himThing'em´bob�察�and

     likewiseNever´mind��

And 'St'st'stand What's´his´name�察�and also You´know´who

The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you。

But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list��

     For they'd none of 'em be missedthey'd none of 'em be

          missed��



CHORUS。   You may put 'em on the listyou may put 'em on the

               list��

               And they'll none of 'em be missedthey'll none of

                    'em be missed��



                         Enter Pooh´Bah。    



     KO。  Pooh´Bah�察�it seems that the festivities in connection

with my approaching marriage must last a week。  I should like to

do it handsomely�察�and I want to consult you as to the amount I

ought to spend upon them。

     POOH。  Certainly。  In which of my capacities�拭 �As First Lord

of the Treasury�察�Lord Chamberlain�察�Attorney General�察�Chancellor

of the Exchequer�察�Privy Purse�察�or Private Secretary��

     KO。  Suppose we say as Private Secretary。

     POOH。  Speaking as your Private Secretary�察�I should say

that�察�as the city will have to pay for it�察�don't stint yourself��

do it well。

     KO。  Exactlyas the city will have to pay for it。  That is

your advice。

     POOH。  As Private Secretary。  Of course you will understand

that�察�as Chancellor of the Exchequer�察�I am bound to see that due

economy is observed。

     KO。  Oh�  �But you said just now ;Don't stint yourself�察�do it

well;。

     POOH。  As Private Secretary。

     KO。  And now you say that due economy must be observed。

     POOH。  As Chancellor of the Exchequer。

     KO。  I see。  Come over here�察�where the Chancellor can't hear

us。  ��They cross the stage。��  Now�察�as my Solicitor�察�how do you

advise me to deal with this difficulty��

     POOH。  Oh�察�as your Solicitor�察�I should have no hesitation in

saying ;Chance it;

     KO。  Thank you。  ��Shaking his hand。��  I will。

     POOH。  If it were not that�察�as Lord Chief Justice�察�I am

bound to see that the law isn't violated。

     KO。  I see。  Come over here where the Chief Justice can't

hear us。  ��They cross the stage。��  Now�察�then�察�as First Lord of

the Treasury��

     POOH。  Of course�察�as First Lord of the Treasury�察�I could

propose a special vote that would cover all expenses�察�if it were

not that�察�as Leader of the Opposition�察�it would be my duty to

resist it�察�tooth and nail。  Or�察�as Paymaster General�察�I could so

cook the accounts that�察�as Lord High Auditor�察�I should never

discover the fraud。  But then�察�as Archbishop of Titipu�察�it would

be my duty to denounce my dishonesty and give myself into my own

custody as first Commissioner of Police。

     KO。  That's extremely awkward。

     POOH。  I don't say that all these distinguished people

couldn't be squared�察�but it is right to tell you that they

wouldn't be sufficiently degraded in their own estimation unless

they were insulted with a very considerable bribe。

     KO。  The matter shall have my careful consideration。  But my

bride and her sisters approach�察�and any little compliment on your

part�察�such as an abject grovel in a characteristic Japanese

attitude�察�would be esteemed a favour。

     POOH。  No money�察�no grovel��

                                                          ��Exeunt

together。

          Comes a train of little ladies

               From scholastic trammels free��

          Each a little bit afraid is��

               Wondering what the world can be��



          Is it but a world of trouble

               Sadness set to song��

          Is its beauty but a bubble

               Bound to break ere long��



          Are its palaces and pleasures

               Fantasies that fade��

          And the glory of its treasures

               Shadow of a shade��



          Schoolgirls we�察�eighteen and under��

               From scholastic trammels free��

          And we wonderhow we wonder��

her。��

     YUM。  You're not going to kiss me before all these people��

     KO。  Well�察�that was the idea。

     YUM ��aside to Peep´Bo��。  It seems odd�察�doesn't it��

     PEEP。  It's rather peculiar。

     PITTI。  Oh�察�I expect it's all right。  Must have a beginning��

you know。

     YUM。  Well�察�of course I know nothing about these things�察�but

I've no objection if it's usual。
