Sullivan: When First My Old, Old Love I Knew

When First My Old, Old Love I Knew - Colin Wright/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (英國皇家愛樂樂團)/Royston Nash (羅伊斯頓·納什)

Lyrics by：William Schwenck Gilbert

Composed by：Arthur Seymor Sullivan

When first my old old love I knew

My bosom welled with joy

My riches at her feet I threw

I was a love-sick boy

No terms seemed too extravagant

Upon her to employ

I used to mope and sigh and pant

Just like a love-sick boy

Tink-a-tank tink-a-tank tink-a-tank

Tink-a-tank

Tink-a-tank tink-a-tank tink-a-tank

Tink-a-tank

I used to mope and sigh and pant

Just like a love-sick boy

Tink-a-tank

But joy incessant palls the sense

And love unchanged will cloy

And she became a bore intense

Unto her love-sick boy

With fitful glimmer burned my flame

And I grew cold and coy

At last one morning I became

Another's love-sick boy

Tink-a-tank tink-a-tank tink-a-tank

Tink-a-tank

Tink-a-tank tink-a-tank tink-a-tank

Tink-a-tank

At last one morning I became

Another's love-sick boy

Tink-a-tank

Oh I was like that when a lad

A shocking young scamp of a rover

I behav'd like a regular cad

But that sort of thing is all over

I'm now a respectable chap

And shine with a virtue resplendent

And therefore I haven't a scrap

Of sympathy with the defendant

He shall treat us with awe

If there isn't a flaw

Singing so merrily

Trial-la-law

Trial-la-law

Trial-la-law

Singing so merrily

Trial-la-law

Trial-la-law

Trial-la-law

Singing so merrily

Trial-la-law

Trial-la-law

Trial-la-law

Singing so merrily

Trial-la-law

Silence in Court

Silence in Court

And all attention lend

Behold your judge

In due submission
