D'oyly Carte Opera Company - I Am So Proud lyrics

Your rating:
POOH-BAH:
I am so proud,
If I allowed 
My family pride
To be my guide, 
I'd volunteer 
To quit this sphere 
Instead of you
In a minute or two,
But family pride
Must be denied,
And set aside, 
And mortified. 
KO-KO:
My brain it teams
With endless schemes
Both good and new
For Titipu;
But if I flit, 
The benefit 
That I'd diffuse 
The town would lose! 
Now every man 
To aid his clan 
Should plot and plan 
As best he can, 
PISH-TUSH:
I heard one day
A gentleman say
That criminals who
Are cut in two
Can hardly feel
The fatal steel,
And so are slain
Without much pain.
If this is true,
It's jolly for you;
Your courage screw
To bid us adieu,
KO-KO - POOH-BAH - PISH-TUSH
My brain it teams - I am so proud, - I heard one day
With endless schemes - If I allowed - A gentleman say
Both good and new - My family pride - That criminals 
who
For Titipu; - To be my guide, - Are cut in two
But if I flit, - I'd volunteer - Can hardly feel
The benefit - To quit this sphere - The fatal steel,
That I'd diffuse - Instead of you - And so are slain
The town would lose! - In a minute or two, - Without 
much pain.
Now every man - But family pride - If this is true,
To aid his clan - Must be denied, - It's jolly for you;
Should plot and plan - And set aside, - Your courage 
screw
As best he can, - And mortified. - To bid us adieu,
KO-KO: And so, 
Although
I'm ready to go, 
Yet recollect 
'Twere disrespect
Did I neglect 
To thus effect 
This aim direct, 
So I object-- 
POOH-BAH: And so, 
Although
I wish to go,
And greatly pine
To brightly shine, 
And take the line 
Of a hero fine,
With grief condign
I must decline--
PISH-TUSH: And go
And show
Both friend and foe
How much you dare. 
I'm quite aware
It's your affair, 
Yet I declare
I'd take your share,
But I don't much care--
KO-KO - POOH-BAH - PISH-TUSH
I object-- I must decline-- But I don't much care--
So I object-- I must decline-- I don't much care--
So I object-- I must decline-- I don't much care--

ALL: To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
[Exeunt Pooh. and Pish.
