[00:00.00]The Mikado: Willow Tit Willow - Martyn Green/Karl Brock/James Pease
[00:05.53]On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
[00:11.06]Sang willow tit willow tit willow
[00:15.04]And I said to him D**ky-bird
[00:17.49]Why do you sit
[00:19.09]Singing willow tit willow tit willow
[00:23.22]Is it weakness of intellect birdie I cried
[00:28.47]Or a rather tough worm in your little inside
[00:34.37]With a shake of his poor little head he replied
[00:41.64]Oh willow tit willow tit willow
[00:50.84]He slapped at his chest
[00:52.70]As he sat on that bough
[00:54.94]Singing willow tit willow tit willow
[00:59.35]And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow
[01:03.94]Oh willow tit willow tit willow
[01:08.37]He sobbed and he sighed
[01:10.96]And a gurgle he gave
[01:14.20]Then he plunged himself
[01:16.44]Into the billowy wave
[01:20.99]And an echo arose
[01:24.07]From the suicide's grave
[01:29.59]Oh willow tit willow tit willow
[01:38.76]Now I feel just as sure
[01:41.16]As I'm sure that my name
[01:43.83]Isn't willow tit willow tit willow
[01:48.22]That was blighted affection
[01:50.64]That made him exclaim
[01:53.18]Oh willow tit willow tit willow
[01:57.59]And if you remain callous and obdurate I
[02:04.05]Shall perish as I did
[02:07.73]And you will know why
[02:12.03]Though I probably shall not exclaim
[02:17.64]As I die
[02:21.43]Oh willow tit willow tit willow
