Modern Major General and Chorus of Pirates and Maidens – L’Opera Lyrics

Artist: Modern Major General and Chorus of Pirates and Maidens
Song: L’Opera

Come, friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let’s vary privacy

With a little burglary
With cat-like tread
Hey, upon the prey we steal
Hey, in silence dread

Hey, our cautious way we feel
Hey, no sound at all
Hey, we never speak a word
Hey, a fly’s foot-fall would be distinctly heard

Tarantara
So stealthily, the pirate creeps
While all the household soundly sleeps
Tarantara

Come, friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let’s vary privacy

With a little burglary
Tarantara
With cat-like tread
Upon the prey we steal

Tarantara Tarantara
Poor wandering one
If such poor love as ours
Can help you find true peace of

*Screams*
Climbing over Rocky Mountain
Skipping rivulet and fountain
Passing where the willows quiver

Scaling rough and rugged passes
Climb the hardy little lasses
Till the bright seashore they gain
Let us gaily tread the treasure

Make the most of fleeting leisure
Make the most of fleeting leisure
Hail it as a true ally
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

I’ve information vegetable ani- historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I’m very well acquainted too with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical

About the binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypoto-potenuse
I’m very good at integral and different calculus
I know the scientific names of being animalculous
In short, in matters, vegetable, animal, and mineral

I am the very model of a modern Major-General
In short, in matters, vegetable, animal, and mineral
He is the very model of a modern Major-General
In fact, when I know what is meant by “mamelon” and “ravelin”

When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery

In short
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee

You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a sat a gee
