A More Human Mikado (from "The Mikado") - The King'S Singers[00:00:00]

Written by：William Schwenck Gilbert/Sir Arthur Sullivan[00:00:00]

A more humane Mikado never[00:00:01]

Did in Japan exist [00:00:05]

To nobody second [00:00:08]

I'm certainly reckoned[00:00:09]

A true philanthropist [00:00:11]

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

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

Each evil liver[00:00:21]

A running river[00:00:23]

Of harmless merriment [00:00:25]

My object all sublime[00:00:39]

I shall achieve in time[00:00:41]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:00:43]

The punishment fit the crime;[00:00:46]

And make each prisoner pent[00:00:48]

Unwillingly represent[00:00:50]

A source of innocent merriment [00:00:52]

Of innocent merriment [00:00:54]

All prosy dull society sinners [00:01:01]

Who chatter and bleat and bore [00:01:05]

Are sent to hear sermons[00:01:08]

From mystical Germans[00:01:10]

Who preach from ten till four [00:01:11]

The amateur tenor whose vocal villainies[00:01:16]

All desire to shirk [00:01:19]

Shall during off-hours [00:01:24]

Exhibit his powers[00:01:25]

To Madame Tussaud's waxwork [00:01:27]

The lady who dyes a chemical yellow[00:01:33]

Or stains her grey hair puce [00:01:35]

Or pinches her figure [00:01:38]

Is painted with vigour[00:01:40]

With permanent walnut juice [00:01:43]

The idiot who in railway carriages [00:01:47]

Scribbles on window-panes [00:01:50]

We only suffer[00:01:53]

To ride on a buffer[00:01:55]

In Parliamentary trains [00:01:58]

My object all sublime[00:02:08]

I shall achieve in time[00:02:10]

To let the punishment fit the crime[00:02:12]

The punishment fit the crime;[00:02:15]

And make each prisoner pent[00:02:17]

Unwillingly represent[00:02:19]

A source of innocent merriment [00:02:21]

Of innocent merriment [00:02:23]

The advertising quack who wearies[00:02:29]

With tales of countless cures [00:02:34]

His teeth I've enacted [00:02:37]

Shall all be extracted[00:02:38]

By terrified amateurs [00:02:40]

The music-hall singer attends a series[00:02:45]

Of masses and fugues and "ops"[00:02:48]

By Bach interwoven[00:02:56]

With Spohr and Beethoven [00:02:58]

At classical Monday Pops [00:02:59]

The billiard sharp who any one catches [00:03:05]

His doom's extremely hard[00:03:08]

He's made to dwell[00:03:11]

In a dungeon cell[00:03:13]

On a spot that's always barred [00:03:15]

And there he plays extravagant matches[00:03:19]

In fitless finger-stalls[00:03:22]

On a cloth untrue[00:03:26]

With a twisted cue[00:03:29]

And elliptical billiard balls [00:03:32]

My object all sublime [00:03:40]

He will achieve in time[00:03:42]

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

The punishment fit the crime;[00:03:46]

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

Unwillingly represent[00:03:51]

A source of innocent merriment [00:03:52]

Of innocent merriment [00:03:55]

His object all sublime[00:03:57]

He will achieve in time[00:03:58]

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

The punishment fit the crime;[00:04:03]

And make each prisoner pent[00:04:05]

Unwillingly represent[00:04:07]

A source of innocent merriment [00:04:09]

Of innocent merriment[00:04:11]
