Gilbert And Sullivan - With Cat Like Tread
PIRATES: (very loud)
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--
POLICE:
(softly) Tarantara, tarantara!
PIRATES:
So stealthily the pirate creeps,
While all the household soundly sleeps.
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!
SAMUEL:
(distributing implements to various members of the gang)
Here's your crowbar and your centrebit,
Your life-preserver -- you may want to hit!
Your silent matches, your dark lantern seize,
Take your file and your skeletonic keys.
POLICE:
Tarantara!
PIRATES:
With cat-like tread
POLICE:
Tarantara!
PIRATES:
In silence dread,
(Enter KING, FREDERIC and RUTH)
ALL (fortissimo).
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
