Sung By
Fair is Rose as bright May day
Zorah and Chorus of Bridesmaids
Sir Rupert Murgatroyd His leisure and his riches

If somebody there chanced to be
Rose Maybud
I know a youth who loves a little maid
Rose Maybud and Robin Oakapple
From the briny seas comes young Richard
Chorus of Bridesmaids
I shipped, d'ye see, in a revenue sloop
Richard Dauntless
My boy, you may take it from me
Robin Oakapple
The battle's roar is over, O my love!
Rose Maybud and Richard Dauntless
If well his suit is sped
Chorus of Bridesmaids
In sailing o'er life's ocean wide
Rose Maybud, Richard Dauntless and Robin Oakapple
Cheerily carols the lark Over the cot
Mad Margaret
Welcome gentry
Chorus
O why am I moody and sad
Sir Despard Murgatroyd
You understand? I think I do
Richard Dauntless and Sir Despard Murgatroyd
Hail the bride of seventeen summers

I once was as meek as a newborn lamb

In bygone days I had thy love
Rose Maybud and Chorus of Bridesmaids
Painted emblems of a race
Robin Oakapple, Ghost of Sir Roderic Murgatroyd and Chorus
When the night wind howls in the chimney cowls
Ghost of Sir Roderic Murgatroyd and Chorus
He yields! He yields!
Chorus
Away, remorse! Compunction, hence!
Robin Oakapple
I once was a very abandon'd person
Mad Margaret and Sir Despard Murgatroyd
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
Mad Margaret, Robin Oakapple and Sir Despard Murgatroyd
There grew a little flower 'neath a great oak tree
Dame Hannah and Ghost of Sir Roderic Murgatroyd
When a man has been a naughty Baronet
