Gilbert And Sullivan - So please you, Sir, we much regret lyrics

[YUM-YUM, PEEP-BO & PITTI-SING] So please you, Sir, we much regret If we have failed in etiquette Towards a man of rank so high — We shall know better by and by [YUM-YUM] But youth, of course, must have its fling So pardon us So pardon us [PITTI-SING] And don't, in girlhood's happy spring Be hard on us Be hard on us If we're inclined to dance and sing Tra la la la la la [YUM-YUM, PEEP-BO & PITTI-SING] But youth, of course, must have its fling So pardon us And don't, in girlhood's happy spring Be hard on us [Chorus] Tra la la la la la Tra la la la la la Tra la la la la la Tra la la la la la But youth, of course, must have its fling So pardon us [Chorus & three maids] Tra la la la la la la La la! Tra la la la la la la La la! Tra la la la la la la La la! Tra la la la la La la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la,la, la La! [POOH-BAH] I think you ought to recollect You cannot show too much respect Towards the highly titled few; But nobody does, and why should you? That youth at us should have its fling Is hard on us Is hard on us; To our prerogative we cling — So pardon us So pardon us If we decline to dance and sing Tra la la la la la la Tra la la la la la la Tra la la la la la la Tra la la la la la la [YUM-YUM, PEEP-BO & PITTI-SING] But youth, of course, must have its fling So pardon us And don't, in girlhood's happy spring Be hard on us [Chorus] But youth, of course, must have its fling So pardon us [ALL] Tra la la la la la la La la! Tra la la la la la la La la! Tra la la la la la la La la! Tra la la la la La la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la,la, la La!
