《Sullivan: The Mikado / Act 2 - 28. The Criminal Cried As He Dropp’d Him Down》歌词

[00:00:00] 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:26] And gurgled and guggled

[00:00:27] I drew my snickersnee

[00:00:32] My snickersnee

[00:00:37] Oh never shall I

[00:00:38] Forget the cry

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

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

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

[00:00:46] I drew my snickersnee

[00:00:49] We know him well

[00:00:51] He cannot tell

[00:00:52] Untrue or groundless tales

[00:00:56] He always tries

[00:00:57] To utter lies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:22] As the sabre true

[00:01:23] Cut cleanly through

[00:01:25] His cervical vertebrae

[00:01:30] His vertebrae

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

[00:01:37] A beautiful maid

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

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

[00:01:43] That moment sad

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

[00:01:48] Her terrible tale

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

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

[00:01:54] Her taste exact

[00:01:56] For faultless fact

[00:01:58] Amounts to a disease

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:25] For it clearly knew

[00:02:27] The deference due

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

[00:02:36] Of pedigree

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

[00:02:43] This deathly bow

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

[00:02:48] Though trunkless yet

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

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

[00:02:55] This haughty youth

[00:02:56] He speaks the truth

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

[00:03:01] And in this case

[00:03:03] It all took place

[00:03:04] Exactly as he says

[00:03:07] Exactly exactly exactly

[00:03:09] Exactly as he says
