Gilbert and Sullivan Were You Not to Ko-Ko Plighted

Tekst piosenki

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 —
This
He’ll never do!
He’ll never do!
This is what he’ll never, never do!

Nanki-Poo:
This, oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this —
This is what I’ll never do!
I’ll never do!
Oh, this —
This is what I’ll never, never do!
