The Criminal Cried As He Dropp'd Him Down (萨利文：他说他是罪犯) - Beryl Dixon/Peter Pratt/Kenneth Sandford/The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus[00:00:00]

The criminal cried as he dropped him down[00:00:06]

In a state of wild alarm[00:00:08]

With a frightful frantic fearful frown[00:00:11]

I bared my big right arm[00:00:15]

I seized him by his little pig-tail[00:00:18]

And on his knees fell he[00:00:21]

As he squirmed and struggled[00:00:24]

And gurgled and guggled[00:00:26]

I drew my snickersnee[00:00:27]

My snickersnee[00:00:32]

Oh never shall I[00:00:37]

Forget the cry[00:00:38]

Or the shriek that shrieked he[00:00:40]

As I gnashed my teeth[00:00:43]

When from it's sheath[00:00:45]

I drew my snickersnee[00:00:46]

We know him well[00:00:49]

He cannot tell[00:00:51]

Untrue or groundless tales[00:00:52]

He always tries[00:00:56]

To utter lies[00:00:57]

And every time he fails[00:00:59]

He shivered and shook as he gave the sign[00:01:02]

For the stroke he didn't deserve[00:01:05]

When all of a sudden his eye met mine[00:01:09]

And it seemed to brace his nerve[00:01:12]

For he nodded his head and kissed his hand[00:01:15]

And he whistled an air did he[00:01:18]

As the sabre true[00:01:22]

Cut cleanly through[00:01:23]

His cervical vertebrae[00:01:25]

His vertebrae[00:01:30]

When a man's afraid[00:01:35]

A beautiful maid[00:01:37]

Is a cheering sight to see[00:01:38]

And it's oh I'm glad[00:01:41]

That moment sad[00:01:43]

Was soothed by sight of me[00:01:45]

Her terrible tale[00:01:48]

You can't assail[00:01:50]

With truth it quite agrees[00:01:51]

Her taste exact[00:01:54]

For faultless fact[00:01:56]

Amounts to a disease[00:01:58]

Now though you'd have said that head was dead[00:02:01]

For it's owner dead was he[00:02:04]

It stood on it's neck with a smile well-bred[00:02:11]

And bowed three times to me[00:02:14]

It was none of your impudent off-hand nods[00:02:18]

But as humble as could be[00:02:22]

For it clearly knew[00:02:25]

The deference due[00:02:27]

To a man of pedigree[00:02:29]

Of pedigree[00:02:36]

And it's oh I vow[00:02:41]

This deathly bow[00:02:43]

Was a touching sight to see[00:02:44]

Though trunkless yet[00:02:48]

It couldn't forget[00:02:49]

The deference due to me[00:02:51]

This haughty youth[00:02:55]

He speaks the truth[00:02:56]

Whenever he finds it pays[00:02:58]

And in this case[00:03:01]

It all took place[00:03:03]

Exactly as he says[00:03:04]

Exactly exactly exactly[00:03:07]

Exactly as he says[00:03:09]
