'When Frederic was a Little Lad' Lyric Question
It has been a while since I have seen the movie but I am now listening to one of my (many) G&S CDs, the first half of The Pirates of Penzance to be exact, and it jogged my mind about a question. Is the song "When Frederic was a Little Lad" missing some of the lyrics in the movie?
This is the bit I mean. Its not a lot but it has my favorite line:
"I soon found out, beyond all doubt,
The scope of this disaster,
But I hadn’t the face to return to my place,
And break it to my master.
A nurserymaid is not afraid
Of what you people call work,
So I made up my mind to go as a kind
Of piratical maid-of-all-work.
And that is how you find me now,
A member of your shy lot,
Which you wouldn’t have found, had he been bound
Apprentice to a pilot."
Its a litte thing I know but I really cant ever remember hearing it.
