about

Another quartet by Gilbert and Sullivan, this time from the operetta The Yeomen of the Guard - sung by the dwsChorale

lyrics

Strange adventure! Maiden wedded
To a groom she'd never seen —
Never, never, never seen!
Groom about to be beheaded.
In an hour on Tower Green!
Tower, Tower, Tower Green!
Groom in dreary dungeon lying.
Groom as good as dead, or dying,
For a pretty maiden sighing —
Pretty maid of seventeen!
Seven — seven — seventeen !
Strange adventure that we're trolling:
Modest maid and gallant groom-
Gallant, gallant, gallant groom! —
While the funeral bell is tolling.
Tolling, tolling, Bim-a-boom!
Bim-a, Bim-a, Bim-a-boom!
Modest maiden will not tarry;
Though but sixteen year she carry,
She must marry, she must marry.
Though the altar be a tomb-
Tower — Tower —Tower tomb!
