The Bab Ballads, with Which Are Included Songs of a Savoyard

by W. S. Gilbert

There is musical Doh-Reh-Mi-Fah—

There's the nightingale Doh-Reh-Mi-Fah!"

So the forces of Bungalee Boo

Marched forth in a terrible row,

And the ladies who fought for Queen Loo

Prepared to encounter the foe—

This dreadful insatiate foe!

But they sharpened no weapons at all,
