[00:00:00] Behold The Lord High Executioner - Peter Pratt/The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus/The New Symphony Orchestra Of London/Isidore Godfrey

[00:00:23] Behold the Lord High Executioner

[00:00:26] A personage of noble rank and title

[00:00:29] A dignified and potent officer

[00:00:32] Whose functions are particularly vital

[00:00:36] Defer defer

[00:00:39] To the Lord High Executioner

[00:00:42] Defer defer

[00:00:45] To the noble Lord to the noble Lord

[00:00:48] To the Lord High Executioner

[00:00:55] Taken from the county jail

[00:00:57] By a set of curious chances

[00:01:00] Liberated then on bail

[00:01:03] On my own recognizances

[00:01:06] Wafted by a favouring gale

[00:01:08] As one sometimes is in trances

[00:01:11] To a height that few can scale

[00:01:14] Save by long and weary dances

[00:01:17] Surely never had a male

[00:01:20] Under such like circumstances

[00:01:22] So adventurous a tale

[00:01:25] Which may rank with most romances

[00:01:28] Taken from the county jail

[00:01:31] By a set of curious chances

[00:01:34] Surely never had a male

[00:01:36] So adventurous a tale

[00:01:41] Defer defer

[00:01:43] To the Lord High Executioner

[00:01:47] Defer defer

[00:01:50] To the noble Lord

[00:01:52] To the noble Lord High Executioner

[00:01:56] Bow down bow down

[00:01:58] To the Lord High Executioner

[00:02:01] Defer defer

[00:02:05] To the noble noble Lord

[00:02:08] To the High Executioner
