Sullivan: Oh, Gentlemen Listen I Pray

Trial by Jury - Oh, Gentlemen Listen I Pray - Colin Wright/D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra/Royston Nash

Lyrics by：William Schwenck Gilbert

Composed by：Arthur Sullivan

Oh gentlemen listen I pray

Though I own that my heart has been ranging

Of nature the laws I obey

For nature is constantly changing

The moon in her phases is found

The time and the wind and the weather

The months in succession come round

And you don't find two Mondays together

Ah consider the moral I pray

Nor bring a young fellow to sorrow

Who loves this young lady today

And loves that young lady tomorrow

Consider the moral we pray

Nor bring a young fellow to sorrow

Who loves this young lady today

And loves that young lady tomorrow

You cannot eat breakfast all day

Nor is it the act of a sinner

When breakfast is taken away

To turn his attention to dinner

And it's not in the range of belief

To look upon him as a glutton

Who when he is tired of beef

Determines to tackle the mutton

Ah but this I am willing to say

If it will appease her sorrow

I'll marry this lady today

And I'll marry the other tomorrow

But this he is willing to say

If it will appease her sorrow

He'll marry this lady today

And he'll marry the other tomorrow
