Oh! Men of Dark and Dismal Fate Lyrics

Oh! Men of Dark and Dismal Fate Song Lyrics

---

Major General:
Oh men! Of dark and dismal fate,
forego your cruel employ.
Have pity on my lonely state,
I am an orphan boy.

Samuel and the Pirate King:
An orphan boy?

Major General:
An orphan boy!

All:
How sad, an orphan boy.

Samuel:
For he is an orphan boy!

All:
He is! Hoorah for the orphan boy!

Major General:
And it sometimes is a useful thing to be an orphan boy.

Frederic and Mabel:
Oh happy day, with joyous glee.
We will away and married be.

All:
Oh happy day, with joyous glee,
they will away and married be.

Frederic and Mabel:
Should it befall auspiciously,
our sisters all will bridesmaids be.

All:
Should it befall auspiciously,
their sisters all will bridesmaids be.

Oh happy day with joyous glee!
They will away and married be.

Should it befall auspiciously;

Should it befall auspiciously their sisters all will bridesmaids be!
