When first my old, old love I knew
When I, good friends, was call'd to the bar
With a deep sense of emotion
Oh, gentlemen, listen
Time was, when love and I
My name is John Wellington Wells
Now to the banquet we press
We sail the ocean blue
I'm called Little Buttercup
A maiden fair to see
I am the captain of the Pinafore
Sorry her lot
I am the monarch of the sea
When I was a lad
Refrain, audacious tar
Things are seldom what they seem
Never mind the why and wherefore
Kind captain, I've important information
Carefully on tiptoe stealing
He is an Englishman
Farewell, my own
When Frederic was a little lad
Oh better for to live and die
Climbing over rocky mountain
Oh, is there not one maiden breast
Poor wandering one
Model of a modern major-general
When the foeman bares his steel
Ah, leave me not to pine
A policeman's lot is not a happy one
With catlike tread


Twenty love-sick maidens we
I cannot tell what this love may be
If you want a receipt
When I first put this uniform on
If you're anxious for to shine
Prithee, pretty maiden
Silvered is the raven
The magnet and the churm
Love is a plaintive song
When I go out of door
We are dainty little fairies
Good morrow, good lover
None shall part us
Loudly let the trumpet bay
The law is the true embodiment
Of all the ladies I know
Spurn not the nobly born
When I went to the bar
Young Strephon is the kind of lout
When all night long
When Britain really ruled the waves
Oh, foolish Fay
When you're lying awake
Faint heart never won fair lady
If you're weak enough to tarry
Ida was a twelvemonth old
If you give me your attention
Expressive glances
Would you know the kind of maid


If you want to know who we are
A wand'ring minstrel
Behold the Lord high executioner
I've got a little list
Three maids from school
Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted
For he's going to marry Yum-Yum
Braid the raven hair
The moon and I
Brightly dawns our wedding day
Here's how-de-do
From every kind of man
My object all sublime
The criminal cried
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tit-willow
If somebody there chanced be
I know a youth
My boy, you may take it from me
When the night wind howls
There grew a little flower
When maiden loves
When our gallant Norman foes
Is life a boon?
I have a song to sing, o!
Were I the bride
Oh, private buffoon
Strange adventure
A man who would woo a fair maid
When a wooer goes a-wooing


Roses white and roses red
We're called Gondolieri
In enterprise of martial kind
There was a time
I stole the prince
When a merry maiden marries
O my darling, o my pet
Rising early in the morning
Take a pair of sparkling eyes
Dance a cachucha
There lived a king
I am a courtier grave and serious.
