 MIDI
File [16KB, 2' 28"] |
| Darine. | |||||
| Man is a being all accuse | |||||
| Of every vice detestable: | |||||
| To virtue blinded, he pursues | |||||
| A course that's unarrestable. | |||||
| Yet if we let one man of shame | |||||
| Observe our lives immaculate, | |||||
| He would (returning whence he came) | |||||
| Ecstatically ejaculate, ejaculate Ecstatically ejaculate — |
|||||
| "Atone, atone! Repent, repent! |
|||||
| The pure alone | |||||
| Know true content!" | |||||
| These tidings good, No doubt he would |
|||||
| Ecstatically ejaculate! | |||||
| Chorus. | |||||
| The news would take the world by storm, And be received with welcome warm; Those words he would, in some such form, |
|||||
| Darine. | |||||
| In some such form, Ejaculate! |
|||||
| Chorus. | |||||
| Ejaculate, ecstatically ejaculate! | |||||
| Darine & Chorus. | |||||
| Those words he would, in some such form, | |||||
| Ecstatically ejaculate! | |||||
| Zayda. | |||||
| Man is a brute, oppressed by strange | |||||
| Unintellectuality: | |||||
| Enlighten him, and you will change | |||||
| His normal immorality. | |||||
| If we exhibited to some | |||||
| Our course of life delectable, | |||||
| They might in course of time become | |||||
| Comparatively respectable, respectable, Comparatively respectable! |
|||||
| Oh, picture then | |||||
| Our joy sublime, | |||||
| If mortal men | |||||
| Became in time — | |||||
| Suppose we say, In guarded way, |
|||||
| Comparatively respectable! | |||||
| Chorus. | |||||
| The news would take the world by storm, And be received with welcome warm, And all would be by this reform, |
|||||
| Zayda. | |||||
| By this reform, respectable! | |||||
| Chorus. | |||||
| Respectable, Comparatively respectable! |
|||||
| Darine, Zayda & Chorus. | |||||
| And all would be by this reform, | |||||
| Comparatively respectable! | |||||
| Respectable, | |||||
| Comparatively, | |||||
| And all would be by this reform, | |||||
| Comparatively respectable! | |||||
