A More Humane Mikado Never Did In Japan Exist (萨利文：一种更加人性化的天皇从来没有在日本存在) - Donald Adams/The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus/The New Symphony Orchestra Of London (伦敦新交响乐团)/Isidore Godfrey (伊西多尔·戈弗雷)[00:00:00]

A more humane Mikado never[00:00:05]

Did in Japan exist[00:00:07]

To nobody second[00:00:10]

I'm certainly reckoned[00:00:11]

A true philanthropist[00:00:12]

It is my very humane endeavour[00:00:14]

To make to some extent[00:00:17]

Each evil liver[00:00:20]

A running river[00:00:21]

Of harmless merriment[00:00:24]

My object all sublime[00:00:29]

I shall achieve in time[00:00:31]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:00:34]

The punishment fit the crime[00:00:36]

And make each prisoner pent[00:00:39]

Unwillingly represent[00:00:41]

A source of innocent merriment[00:00:44]

Of innocent merriment[00:00:47]

All prosy dull society sinners[00:00:55]

Who chatter and bleat and bore[00:00:57]

Are sent to hear sermons[00:01:00]

From mystical germans[00:01:02]

Who preach from ten till four[00:01:02]

The amateur tenor[00:01:05]

Whose vocal villainies[00:01:07]

All desire to shirk[00:01:08]

Shall during off-hours[00:01:10]

Exhibit his powers[00:01:12]

To Madame Tussaud's waxwork[00:01:13]

The lady who dyes a chemical yellow[00:01:15]

Or stains her grey hair puce[00:01:18]

Or pinches her figure[00:01:20]

Is painted with vigour[00:01:22]

And permanent walnut juice[00:01:25]

The idiot who in railway carriages[00:01:28]

Scribbles on window-panes[00:01:31]

We only suffer[00:01:34]

To ride on a buffer[00:01:36]

In parliamentary trains[00:01:38]

My object all sublime[00:01:51]

I shall achieve in time[00:01:53]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:01:56]

The punishment fit the crime[00:01:59]

And make each prisoner pent[00:02:01]

Unwillingly represent[00:02:04]

A source of innocent merriment[00:02:07]

Of innocent merriment[00:02:09]

His object all sublime[00:02:12]

He will achieve in time[00:02:15]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:02:17]

The punishment fit the crime[00:02:20]

And make each prisoner pent[00:02:23]

Unwillingly represent[00:02:25]

A source of innocent merriment[00:02:27]

Of innocent merriment[00:02:30]

The advertising quack who wearies[00:02:37]

With tales of countless cures[00:02:39]

His teeth I've enacted[00:02:41]

Shall all be extracted[00:02:43]

By terrified amateurs[00:02:44]

The music-hall singer attends a series[00:02:47]

Of masses and fugues and ops[00:02:49]

By Bach interwoven[00:02:52]

With Spohr and Beethoven[00:02:54]

At classical Monday Pops[00:02:55]

The billiard sharp[00:02:57]

Who any one catches[00:02:59]

His doom's extremely hard[00:03:00]

He's made to dwell[00:03:03]

In a dungeon cell[00:03:04]

On a spot that's always barred[00:03:07]

And there he plays extravagant matches[00:03:11]

In fitless finger-stalls[00:03:14]

On a cloth untrue[00:03:17]

With a twisted cue[00:03:19]

And elliptical billiard balls[00:03:22]

My object all sublime[00:03:39]

I shall achieve in time[00:03:42]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:03:44]

The punishment fit the crime[00:03:47]

And make each prisoner pent[00:03:49]

Unwillingly represent[00:03:52]

A source of innocent merriment[00:03:55]

Of innocent merriment[00:03:57]

His object all sublime[00:04:00]

He will achieve in time[00:04:03]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:04:05]

The punishment fit the crime[00:04:08]

And make each prisoner pent[00:04:10]

Unwillingly represent[00:04:13]

A source of innocent merriment[00:04:15]

Of innocent merriment[00:04:18]
