Here’s a how-de-do Gilbert and Sullivan

[YUM-YUM]
Here's a how-de-do!
If I marry you
When your time has come to perish
Then the maiden whom you cherish
Must be slaughtered, too!
Here's a how-de-do!
Here's a how-de-do!

[NANKI-POO]
Here's a pretty mess!
In a month, or less
I must die without a wedding!
Let the bitter tears I'm shedding
Witness my distress
Here's a pretty mess!
Here's a pretty mess!

[KO-KO]
Here's a state of things
To her life she clings!
Matrimonial devotion
Doesn't seem to suit her notion--
Burial it brings!
Here's a state of things!
Here's a state of things!
