The Criminal Cried As He Dropped Him Down (исполнитель: Gilbert & Sullivan)
Ko-Ko: The criminal cried, as he dropped him down, In a state of wild alarm - With a frightful, frantic, fearful frown, I bared my big right arm. I seized him by his little pig-tail, And on his knees fell he, As he squirmed and [bad word] And gurgled and guggled, I drew my snickersnee, My snickersnee! Oh, never shall I Forget the cry, Or the shriek that shrieked he, As I gnashed my teeth, When from its sheath I drew my snickersnee! [bad word] We know him well, He cannot tell [bad word] or groundless tales — He always tries To utter lies, And every time he fails. Pitti-Sing: He shivered and shook as he gave the sign For the stroke he didn't deserve; When all of a sudden his eye met mine, And it seemed to brace his nerve; For he nodded his head and kissed his hand, And he whistled an air, did he, As the sabre [bad word] Cut cleanly through His cervical vertebrae, His vertebrae! When a man's afraid, beautiful maid Is a cheering sight to see; And it's oh, I'm glad That moment sad Was soothed by sight of me! [bad word] Her terrible tale You can't assail, With [bad word] it quite agrees: Her taste exact For faultless fact Amounts to a disease. Pooh-Bah: Now though you'd have said that head was dead (For its owner dead was he), It stood on its neck, with a smile well-bred, And bowed three times to me! It was none of your impudent off-hand nods, But as humble as could be; For it clearly knew The deference due To a man of pedigree, Of pedigree! And it's oh, I vow, This deathly bow Was a touching sight to see; Though [bad word] yet It couldn't forget The deference due to me! [bad word] This haughty youth, He speaks the [bad word] (p)Whenever he finds it pays: And in this case It all took place Exactly as he says! Exactly, exactly, exactly, Exactly as he says!
