What Ought We To Do? Lyrics


Gilbert & Sullivan What Ought We To Do?




[EDITH]
What ought we to do,
Gentle sisters, say?
Propriety, we know,
Says we ought to stay;
While sympathy exclaims,
“Free them from your tether –
Play at other games –
Leave them here together.”

[KATE]
Her case may, any day,
Be yours, my dear, or mine.
Let her make her hay
While the sun doth shine.
Let us compromise
(Our hearts are not of leather):
Let us shut our eyes,
And talk about the weather.

[GIRLS]
Yes, yes, let's talk about the weather.
