Tracks:

The Mikado:
Three little maids from school
A wand'ring minstrel I
On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
Behold the Lord High Executioner
As some day it may happen
The sun whose rays
Here's a how-de-do!
The flowers that bloom in the spring
There is beauty in the bellow of the blast
For he's gone and married Yum-Yum

H.M.S. Pinafore:
When I was a lad
I'm called little Buttercup
Nerver mind the why and wherefore
We sail the ocean blue
I am the Captain of the Pinafore
Oh joy! Oh rapture unforeseen

Trial by Jury:
When I good friends, was called to the bar

The Sorcerer:
My name is John Wellington Wells

Patience:
The Soldiers of our Queen
Am I alone and unobserved
If you're anxious forto shine
So go to him and say to him

The Yeomen of the Guard:
When our gallant Norman foes
I have a song to sing, O!
When maiden loves, she sits and sighs
Tower warders, under orders

The Pirates of Penzance:
With cat-like tread
Poor wand'ring one
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
When the foeman bares his steel
When a felon's not engaged in his employment

Ruddigore:
I know a youth who loves a little maid
When the night wind howls in the chimney cowls
My eyes are fully open

Iolanthe:
Loudly let the trumpet bray
Love unrequited
If you go in you're sure to win
When all night long a chap remains
Said I to myself, said I
When Britain really ruled the waves

The Gondoliers
We're called godolieri, but that's a vagary
In enterprise of martial kind
Take a pair of sparkling eyes
Dance a cachucha, fandango, bolero
From the sunny Spanish shore
I stole the Prince
Then one of us will be a queen

Princess Ida
If you give me your attention
The woman of the wisest wit
Built upon a rock
Whene'er I spoke sarcastic joke
This helmet I suppose
