Climbing Over Rocky Mountain Gilbert and Sullivan (Ft. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus, Isidore Godfrey, Jean Allister, Pauline Wales & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
[CHORUS OF GIRLS]
Climbing over rocky mountain,
Skipping rivulet and fountain,
Passing where the willows quiver
By the ever-rolling river,
Swollen with the summer rain;
Threading long and leafy mazes
Dotted with unnumbered daisies,
Scaling rough and rugged passes,
Climb the hardy little lasses,
Till the bright sea-shore they gain!
[EDITH]
Let us gaily tread the measure,
Make the most of fleeting leisure,
Hail it as a true ally,
Though it perish bye and bye
[CHORUS OF GIRLS]
Hail it as a true ally,
Though it perish bye and bye!
[EDITH]
Every moment brings a treasure
Of its own especial pleasure;
Though the moments quickly die,
Greet them gaily as they fly!
