Richard D'Oyly Carte - See How The Fates Their Gifts Allot lyrics

[MIKADO] See how the Fates their gifts allot For A is happy, B is not Yet B is worthy, I dare say Of more prosperity than A [KO-KO, POOH-BAH, & PITTI-SONG] Is B more worthy? [KATISHA] I should say He's worth a great deal more than A [QUINTET] Yet A is happy! Oh, so happy! Laughing, Ha! ha! Chaffing, Ha! ha! Nectar quaffing, Ha! ha! ha! Ever joyous, ever gay Happy, undeserving A! [KO-KO, POOH-BAH, & PITTI-SONG] If I were Fortune which I'm not B should enjoy A's happy lot And A should die in miserie That is, a**uming I am B [MIKADO & KATISHA] But should A perish? [KO-KO, POOH-BAH, & PITTI-SONG] That should he Of course, a**uming I am B [QUINTET] B should be happy! Oh, so happy! Laughing, Ha! ha! Chaffing, Ha! ha! Nectar quaffing, Ha! ha! ha! But condemned to die is he Wretched meritorious B!
