For He's Gone and Married Yum-Yum
Libretto by William S. Gilbert Music by Arthur Sullivan
from: The Mikado Song No. 24, Act II Finale

Pitti:
For he's going to marry Yum-Yum--

chorus:
Yum-Yum!

Pitti:
Your anger pray bury,
For all will be merry,
I think you had better succumb--

chorus:
Cumb--cumb!

Pitti:
And join our expressions of glee.
On this subject I pray you be dumb--

chorus:
Dumb--dumb.

Pitti:
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny--
The word for your guidance is "Mum"--

chorus:
Mum--mum!

Pitti:
There's lots of good fish in the sea!

chorus:
On this subject we pray you be dumb--
Dumb--dumb.
We think you had better succumb--
Cumb--cumb!
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny--
Who'll wed for a penny!
There's lots of good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea!

With joyous shout, with joyous shout and ringing cheer,
Inaugurate, inaugurate our new career!
With joyous shout and ringing cheer, joyous, joyous shout,
With laughing song and merry dance,
With laughing song and merry dance!
With song and dance!
