My Eyes Are Fully Open

My eyes are fully open to my awful situation I shall go at once to Mabel and I'll make her an oration I will tell her I am bound by duty and my moral senses And I don't know what to do about about impending consequences Now I do not want to perish by the sword or by the dagger But a pirate must indulge a little pardonable swagger And a word or two of compliment my vanity could flatter But I've got to go tonight and so it really doesn't matter! So it really doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter So it really doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter So it really doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter So it really doesn't matter So it really doesn't matter So it really doesn't matter So it really doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter! Matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter If this were not a little mad and generally silly I should give you my advice upon the subject willy-nilly I should show you in a moment how to grapple with the question And you'd really be astonished by the force of my suggestion On the subject I should write you a most valuable letter Full of excellent suggestion when I feel a little better But at present I'm afraid I am as mad as any hatter So I'll sing this song from Ruddigore, it really doesn't matter! What we sing just doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter What we sing just doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter What we sing just doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter What we sing just doesn't matter What we sing just doesn't matter No, it really doesn't matter What we sing just doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter! Matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter! If I had been so lucky as to have a steady mother Who could talk to me as we are talking now to one another Who could give me good advice when she discovered I was erring (Which is just the very favor which on you, I am conferring) My existence would've made a rather interesting idyll And I might have lived and died a very decent indiwiddle This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter Isn't generally heard and if it is, it doesn't matter! If it is, it doesn't matter Matter, matter, matter, matter If it is, it doesn't matter Matter, matter, matter, matter This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter Isn't generally heard and if it is, it doesn't matter This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter Isn't generally heard and if it is, it doesn't matter Matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter, matter!
