One Gilbert and one Sullivanhave lured us all together, To sing their songs and say their linesand talk about the weather.Our purpose is to practice upuntil we can't be betta,Then set our stage, invite our friendsand give an operetta. Our efforts never yield us gainnor other compensationThan having audience acclaimwith vocal admiration.To prove our motives profitlesswith no uncertain clarity,Our net return we always giveto some deserving charity.
