| #8 Yarrrr! There be a song! ("With Cat-Like Tread" from Pirates of Penzance) With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel. No sound at all, We never speak a word, A fly’s foot-fall Would be distinctly heard – Tarantara, tarantara! So stealthily the pirate creeps, While all the household soundly sleeps. Come, friends, who plough the sea, Truce to navigation; Take another station; Let’s vary piracee With a little burglaree! Come, friends, who plough the sea, Truce to navigation; Take another station; Let’s vary piracee With a little burglaree! Here’s your crowbar and your centrebit, Your life-preserver – you may want to hit! Your silent matches, your dark lantern seize, Take your file and your skeletonic keys. Tarantara. With cat-like tread Tarantara. In silence dread With cat-like tread, Upon our prey we steal; In silence dread, Our cautious way we feel. No sound at all, We never speak a word, A fly’s foot-fall Would be distinctly heard |
