The Pirates of Penzance the Musical - Hold, Monsters! Lyrics


The song is written by Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert.

MABEL:
Hold, monsters!
Ere your pirate caravanserai
Proceed, against our will, to wed us all
Just bear in mind that we are Wards in Chancery
And father is a Major-General!

SAMUEL:
We'd better pause, or danger may befall;
Their father is a Major-General!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
Yes, yes, he is a Major-General!

MAJOR-GENERAL:
Yes, yes, I am a Major-General!

SAMUEL:
For he is a Major-General!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
For he is!

SAMUEL, MAJOR-GENERAL, MABEL, CHORUS OF GIRLS:
Hurrah for the Major-General!

MAJOR-GENERAL:
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Major-General!

SAMUEL, MAJOR-GENERAL, MABEL, CHORUS OF GIRLS:
It is! Hurrah for the Major-General!
Hurrah for the Major-General!
