#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 flys 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;
Lets vary piracee
With a little burglaree!
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Lets vary piracee
With a little burglaree!

Heres 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 flys foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard
