	MIDI File [24Kb, 2' 49 "]

As they go off the KING enters with ZAPETER and JAMILEK from the bridge. They are disguised as Red Indians, and carry tomahawks, etc. They enter with a quaint
hopping step, singing at the same time.

Jamilek, King Portico & Zapeter

King, Zapeter & Jamilek.
	With skip and hop,
		With jerky jump,
	We come down plop,
		And come down plump;
	We are installed
		In Indian rig,
	Our tribe is called
		Hop - pe - de - gig

Jamilek.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		Hoppedegig are we,
Zapeter.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		An isle beyond the sea,
King.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		You think our colour’s paint.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		I do not say it ain’t.

All three.
		Ah!
	With feathers, paint, and patches
		And a tom, tom, tom,
	That with our colour matches
		With a tom, tom, tom, With a tom, tom, tom, With a tom, tom, tom,
	That with our colour matches
		With a tom, tom, tom,
	We’ll sing unmeaning snatches
		With a tom, tom, tom,
	Till we are under hatches
		In a tom, tom, tom, With a tom, tom, tom, With a tom, tom, tom,
	Till we are under hatches
		In a tom, tom, tom.

All three.
	With skip and hop,
		With jerky jump,
	We come down plop,
		And come down plump;
	We are installed
		In Indian rig,
	Our tribe is called
		Hop - pe - de - gig

Jamilek.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		Hoppedegig are we,
Zapeter.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		An isle beyond the sea,
King.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		You think our colour’s paint.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		I do not say it ain’t.

All three.
		Ah!
	With feathers, paint, and patches
		And a tom, tom, tom,
	That with our colour matches
		And a tom, tom, tom,
	We’ll sing unmeaning snatches
		With a tom, tom, tom,
	Till we are under hatches
		In a tom, tom, tom.
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
	Hoppedegig, Hoppedegig,
		Hoppedegig, Hop! are we!
