Gilbert And Sullivan - Here's a how-de-do lyrics

[YUM-YUM] Here's a how-de-do! If I marry you When your time has come to perish Then the maiden whom you cherish Must be slaughtered, too! Here's a how-de-do! Here's a how-de-do! [NANKI-POO] Here's a pretty mess! In a month, or less I must die without a wedding! Let the bitter tears I'm shedding Witness my distress Here's a pretty mess! Here's a pretty mess! [KO-KO] Here's a state of things To her life she clings! Matrimonial devotion Doesn't seem to suit her notion-- Burial it brings! Here's a state of things! Here's a state of things! [YUM-YUM & NANKI-POO] With a pa**ion that's intense I worship and adore But the laws of common sense We oughtn't to ignore If what he says is true 'Tis d**h to marry you! Here's a pretty state of things!

Here's a pretty how-de-do! Here's a pretty state of things! A pretty state of things! [KO-KO] With a pa**ion that's intense You worship and adore But the laws of common sense You oughtn't to ignore If what I say is true 'Tis d**h to marry you! Here's a pretty state of things! Here's a pretty how-de-do! Here's a pretty state of things! A pretty state of things! [YUM-YUM] Here's a how-de-do! [NANKI-POO] Here's a how-de-do! [KO-KO] Here's a how-de-do! [YUM-YUM & NANKI-POO] For if what he says is true I cannot, cannot marry you Here's a pretty, pretty state of things! Here's a pretty how-de-do! [KO-KO] For if what he says is true He cannot, cannot marry you Here's a pretty, pretty state of things! Here's a pretty how-de-do!
