José/Sancho: (Whistling)
Mr Grigg: Hullo! What’s that? ’Twasn’t a cat!
Something I heard, like a bird!
No! No!
’Tis a pee-wit, gone in a fit,
Oh, this is very absurd!
I think that the lens I can clearly direct,
And at last I have got quite a charming effect.
Ah, now to arrange it. A capital plan.
I’ve sighted a rock.
No, ’tis a man!
Sancho: Ha! Ha! You have hit on a capital plan! I’m a man!
Mr Grigg: And another!
José: Another young man. Well!
Sancho: Well!
Mr Grigg: Quite well, thank you!
José: Nay, your hand.
Sancho: Your hand.
Mr Grigg: Good morning! I can’t stay.
José and Sancho: You must.
Mr Grigg: I must! You’re fond of jokes.
José: Remain.
Sancho: Explain.
Mr Grigg: What horrid looking folks!
José: I’m called the Wolf!
Mr Grigg: Indeed! (A grasp of iron).
They shouldn’t call you that.
Sancho: And I the Lion!
Both: We’re members of a robber band,
We offer you, as Captain, the command.
Mr Grigg: Upon my word, I do not understand,
In fact I’d rather not.
Both: Our Captain you must be!
Refuse! Then choose, be Captain or be shot!
Mr Grigg: What?
Both: Shot!
Mr Grigg: Not –
Both: Shot!
Mr Grigg: What?
Both: Shot!
Mr Grigg: For what?
Both: Yes, shot!
Mr Grigg: Well, agreed!
Both: ’Tis agreed!
Dance the bolero! Dance the bolero!
Mr Grigg: Mad! ’Tis my belief.
Both: Wild tarantellas will welcome our Chief.
Dance the bolero!
Mr Grigg: Why the bolero?
Both: Bolero! Bolero! The robber’s pet,
We’ll dance to the pipe and the gay castanet.
Mr Grigg: Bolero! Bolero! A dreadful set!
I wish that I’d never these gentlemen met.
All: Bolero! Bolero! …
We’ll dance to the sound of the pipe …
Written by: Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir Francis Cowley Burnand
