Arthur Sullivan - Sullivan: The Mikado or The Town of Titipu, Act 1: No. 1, Chorus, "If you want to know who we are" (Nobles) şarkı sözleri
Sanatçı: Arthur Sullivan
albüm: Gilbert & Sullivan: The Mikado
If you want to know who we are,
We are gentlemen of Japan:
On many a vase and jar –
On many a screen and fan,
We figure in lively paint:
Our attitude's queer and quaint –
You're wrong if you think it ain't, oh!
If you think we are worked by strings,
Like a Japanese marionette,
You don't understand these things:
It is simply Court etiquette.
Perhaps you suppose this throng
Can't keep it up all day long?
If that's your idea, you're wrong, oh!
