D'oyly Carte Opera Company - Stay We Must Not Lose Our Senses lyrics

Your rating:

RECITATIVE AND CHORUS: Stay, we must not lose our 
senses
FREDERIC: Stay, we must not lose our senses; 
Men who stick at no offences 
Will anon be here! 
Piracy their dreadful trade is; 
Pray you, get you hence, young ladies, 
While the coast is clear (FREDERIC and MABEL retire)
GIRLS: No, we must not lose our senses, 
If they stick at no offences 
We should not be here! 
Piracy their dreadful trade is-- 
Nice companions for young ladies! 
Let us disap--
(During this chorus the PIRATES have entered 
stealthily, and formed in a semicircle behind the 
GIRLS. As the GIRLS move to go off, each PIRATE seizes 
a GIRL. KING seizes EDITH and ISABEL, SAMUEL seizes 
KATE.)
GIRLS: Too late!
PIRATES: Ha, ha!
GIRLS: Too late!
PIRATES: Ho, ho! 
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Here's a first-rate opportunity 
To get married with impunity, 
And indulge in the felicity 
Of unbounded domesticity. 
You shall quickly be parsonified, 
Conjugally matrimonified, 
By a doctor of divinity 
Who is located in this vicinity.
GIRLS: We have missed our opportunity 
Of escaping with impunity; 
So farewell to the felicity 
Of our maiden domesticity! 
We shall quickly be parsonified, 
Conjugally matrimonified, 
By a doctor of divinity, 
Who is located in this vicinity.
ALL: By a doctor of divinity, 
Who resides in this vicinity, 
By a doctor, a doctor, a doctor of divinity, of 
divinity.
