• Overture
• Act 1:If you want to know who we are.
• Gentlemen, I pray you tell me where a gentle maden dwelleth.
• A wand'ring minstrel I.
• Our great Mikado, virtuous man.
• Young man, despair, Likewise go Yum Yum the fair.
• And I have journey'd for a month.
• Behold the Lord High Executioner!
• As someday it may happen that a victim must be found.
• Comes a train of little ladies.
• Three little maids from school are we.
• So please you, Sir, we much regret.
• Were you not to Ko Ko plighted I would stay in tender tone.
• I am so proud, If I allowed my family pride to be my guide.
• With aspect stern and gloomy stride.
• The threatn'd cloud has pass'd away.
• Your revels cease! Assist me, all of you!
• Oh fool, that fleeest My hallow'd joys!
• For he's going to marry Yum Yum.
• The hour of gladness is dead and gone.
• Ye torrents roar! Ye tempests howl!
