2025 Broadway
The Pirates of Penzance the Musical - Stay We Must Not Lose Our Senses Lyrics


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

FREDERIC:
Stay, we must not lose our senses;
Men who stick at no offenses
Will anon be here!
Piracy their dreadful trade is;
Pray you, get you hence, young ladies,
While the coast is clear!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
No, we must not lose our senses,
If they stick at no offenses
We should not be here!
Piracy their dreadful trade is -
Nice companions for young ladies!
Let us disappear.

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
Too late!

CHORUS OF PIRATES:
Ha, ha!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
Too late!

CHORUS OF PIRATES:
Ho, ho!
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho, ho!

CHORUS OF PIRATES:
Here's a first rate opportunity
To get married with impunity,
And indulge in the felicity
Of unbounded domesticity!
You shall quickly be parsonified,
Conjugally matrimonified,
By a doctor of divinity,
Who is located in this vicinity.

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
We have missed our opportunity
Of escaping with impunity,
So farewell to the felicity
Of our maiden domesticity!
We shall quickly be parsonified,
Conjugally matrimonified,
By a doctor of divinity,
Who is located in this vicinity.

FREDERIC, CHORUS OF GIRLS
& CHORUS OF PIRATES:
By a doctor of divinity,
Who resides in this vicinity,
By a doctor, a doctor,
A doctor of divinity, of divinity.

Pour, O Pour The Pirate Sherry
When Frederic Was A Little Lad
Oh, Better Far To Live And Die
Oh, False One, You Have Deceived Me!
Climbing Over Rocky Mountain
Stop, Ladies, Pray!
Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast
Poor Wandering One
What Ought We To Do?
How Beautifully Blue The Sky
Stay, We Must Not Lose Our Senses
Hold, Monsters!
I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General
Oh, Men of Dark and Dismal Fate
Oh, Dry The Glistening Tear
