Arthur Sullivan, The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Royston Nash - Gilbert & Sullivan: The Mikado

9. Comes a train of little ladies

Comes a train of little ladies
From scholastic trammels free
Each a little bit afraid is
Wondering what the world can be

Is it but a world of trouble?
Sadness set to song?
Is its beauty but a bubble?
Bound to break ere long?

Are its palaces and pleasures
Fantasies that fade?
And the glory of its treasures
Shadow of a shade?
And the glory of its treasures
Shadow of a shade? (shadow of a shade)

Schoolgirls we, eighteen and under
From scholastic trammels free
And we wonder, how we wonder!
We wonder, how we wonder!
What on earth the world can be!
What on earth the world can be!
