 Behold the Lord High Executioner 
 personage of noble rank and title — 
 dignified and potent officer, 
 Whose functions are particularly vital! 
 Defer, defer, 
 To the Lord High Executioner! 
 Defer, defer, 
 To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord, 
 To the Lord High Executioner! 

 Ko-Ko: 
 Taken from the county jail 
 By a set of curious chances; 
 Liberated then on bail, 
 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, never had a male 
 Under such like circumstances 
 So adventurous a tale, 
 Which may rank with most romances.

 Bow down, bow down,

 To the noble, noble Lord, 
 To the High Executioner!
