[SAMUEL] For he is an orphan boy! [CHORUS] He is! Hurrah for the orphan boy! [MAJOR-GENERAL] And it sometimes is a useful thing To be an orphan boy. [CHORUS] It is! Hurrah for the orphan boy! Hurrah for the orphan boy! [ALL] Oh, happy day, with joyous glee We/They will away and married be! [CHORUS] Oh, happy day, with joyous glee We/They will away and married be! [ALL] Should it befall auspiciously, Her/Our sisters all will bridesmaids be! [CHORUS] Should it befall auspiciously, Her/Our sisters all will bridesmaids be! [ALL] Oh, happy day, with joyous glee We/They will away and married be! Should it befall auspiciously, Her/Our sisters all will bridesmaids be! [CHORUS] Should it befall auspiciously, [ALL] Her/Our sisters all will bridesmaids be! [RUTH] Oh, master, hear one word, I do implore you! Remember Ruth, your Ruth, who kneels before you! [PIRATES] Yes, yes, remember Ruth, who kneels before you! [FREDERIC] Away, you did deceive me! [PIRATES] Away, you did deceive him! [RUTH] Oh, do not leave me! [PIRATES] Oh, do not leave her! [FREDERIC] Away, you grieve me! [PIRATES] Away, you grieve him! [FREDERIC] I wish you'd leave me! [PIRATES] We wish you'd leave him! Pray observe the magnanimity We display to lace and dimity! Never was such opportunity To get married with impunity, But we give up the felicity Of unbounded domesticity, Tho' a doctor of divinity Resides in this vicinity. [GIRLS] Pray observe the magnanimity They display to lace and dimity! Never was such opportunity To get married with impunity, But they give up the felicity Of unbounded domesticity, Tho' a doctor of divinity Resides in this vicinity. [CHORUS] But they/we give up the felicity Of unbounded domesticity, But they/we give up the felicity Of unbounded domesticity, Tho' a doctor of divinity, A doctor of divinity, A doctor, a doctor of divinity Tho' a doctor of divinity Resides in this vicinity Tho' a doctor, a doctor, Resides in this vicinity This vicinity! [END OF ACT 1]
