'If you want to know who we are!'  'A wand'ring minstrel, I!'  'Our great Mikado, virtuous man!'  'I've got a little list!'  'Schoolgirls we, 18 and under!'  Three Little Maids  'To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock!'  'Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted!'  'Your revels cease!'  'Oni! bikkuri shakkuri to!'  'Long life to you!'  'We do not heed their dismal sound!'  'The sun whose rays are all ablaze!'  'Brightly dawns our wedding day!'  'I am the Emperor of Japan'  'And I'm his daughjter-in-law elect!'  'See how the Fates their gifts allot!'  'Alone, and yet alive!'  'Won't you wait until you're 80 in the shade?'  'For he's gone and married Yum-Yum!'
