Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast Lyrics

2025 Broadway
The Pirates of Penzance the Musical - Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast Lyrics


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

FREDERIC:
Oh, is there not one maiden breast
Which does not feel the moral beauty
Of making worldly interest
Subordinate to sense of duty?
Who would not give up willingly
All matrimonial ambition
To rescue such a one as I
From his unfortunate position!
From this position
To rescuer such a one as I
From his unfortunate position!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
Alas! there's not one maiden breast
Which seems to feel the moral beauty
Of making worldly interest
Subordinate to sense of duty!

FREDERIC:
Oh, is there not one maiden here
Whose homely face and bad complexion
Have caused all hope to disappear
Of ever winning man’s affection?
To such an one, if such there be
I swear by Heaven’s arch above you
If you will cast your eyes on me
However plain you be – I'll love you!
However plain you be –-
If you will cast your eyes on me --
However plain you be –- I’ll love you!
I'll love you! I'll love you!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
Alas! there's not one maiden here
Whose homely face and bad complexion
Have caused all hope to disappear
Of ever winning man’s affection!

FREDERIC:
Not one?

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
No, no - not one!

FREDERIC:
Not one?

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
No, no!

MABEL:
Yes, one!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
'Tis Mabel!

MABEL:
Yes, 'tis Mabel!
