Stop, Ladies, Pray! Lyrics

2025 Broadway
The Pirates of Penzance the Musical - Stop, Ladies, Pray! Lyrics


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

FREDERIC:
Stop, ladies, pray!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
A man!

FREDERIC:
I had intended
Not to intrude myself upon your notice
In this effective but alarming costume;
But under these peculiar circumstances
It is my bounden duty to tell you
That your proceedings will not be unwitnessed!

EDITH:
But who are you, sir? Speak!

FREDERIC:
I am a pirate!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
A pirate! Horror!

FREDERIC:
Ladies, do not shun me!
This evening I renounce my vile profession;
And, to that end,
O pure and peerless maidens!
Oh, blushing buds of ever-blooming beauty!
I, sore at heart, I sore at heart
Implore your kind assistance

EDITH:
How pitiful his tale!

KATE:
How rare his beauty!

CHORUS OF GIRLS:
How pitiful his tale!
How rare his beauty!

When Frederic Was A Little Lad
Oh, Better Far To Live And Die
Oh, False One, You Have Deceived Me!

Stop, Ladies, Pray!
Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast
Poor Wandering One

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
Then Frederic
