ฟังเพลงSullivan: 24. Here's A How-De-Do!

Act 2 - 24. Here's A How-De-Do! - Jean Hindmarsh/Thomas Round/Peter Pratt/The New Symphony Orchestra Of London/Isidore Godfrey

Here's a how-de-do

If I marry you

When your time has come to perish

Then the maiden whom you cherish

Must be slaughtered too

Here's a how-de-do

Here's a how-de-do

Here's a pretty mess

In a month or less

I must die without a wedding

Let the bitter tears I'm shedding

Witness my distress

Here's a pretty mess

Here's a pretty mess

Here's a state of things

To her life she clings

Matrimonial devotion

Doesn't seem to suit her notion

Burial it brings

Here's a state of things

Here's a state of things

With a passion that's intense

I worship and adore

But the laws of common sense

We oughtn't to ignore

If what he says is true

'Tis death to marry you

Here's a pretty state of things

Here's a pretty how-de-do

Here's a pretty state of things

A pretty state of things

Here's a how-de-do

Here's a how-de-do

Here's a how-de-do

For if what he says is true

I cannot cannot marry you

Here's a pretty pretty state of things

Here's a pretty how-de-do
