Vocal version here: • Karaoke Opera: A Wandring Minstrel - ...
Nanki-Poo is the Wand'ring Minstrel so he explains to the lords of Titipu his job and all the different things he can do
A wand’ring minstrel I –
A thing of shreds and patches,
Of ballads, songs and snatches,
And dreamy lullaby!
My catalogue is long,
Thro’ ev’ry passion ringing,
And to your humours changing
I tune my supple song!
Thro’ ev’ry passion ringing,
And to your humours changing
I tune my supple song!
I tune my supple song!
Are you in sentimental mood?
I’ll sigh with you.
Oh, – sorrow!
On maiden’s coldness do you brood?
I’ll do so, too –
Oh, sorrow, sorrow!
I’ll charm your willing ears
With songs of lovers’ fears,
While sympathetic tears
My cheeks bedew –
Oh, sorrow, sorrow!
But if patriotic sentiment is wanted,
I’ve patriotic ballads cut and drie…...more

I’ll charm your willing ears
With songs of lovers’ fears,
While sympathetic tears
My cheeks bedew –
Oh, sorrow, sorrow!
But if patriotic sentiment is wanted,
I’ve patriotic ballads cut and dried,
For where’er our country’s banner may be planted,
All other local banners are defied!
Our warriors, in serried ranks assembled,
Never quail – or they conceal it if they do –
And I shouldn’t be surpris’d if nations trembled
Before the mighty troops, the troops of Titipu!
Chorus
We shouldn’t be surpris’d if Nations trembled,
trembled with alarm
Before the mighty troops, the troops of Titipu!
Nanki-Poo
And if you call for a song of the sea,
We’ll heave the capstan round,
With a yeo heave ho, for the wind is free,
Her anchor’s a-trip and her helm’s a-lee,
Hurrah for the homeward bound!
Chorus
Yeo-ho–heave-ho-
Hurrah for the homeward bound!
Nanki-Poo
To lay a loft in a howling breeze
May tickle a landsman’s taste,
But the happiest hour a sailor sees
Is when he’s down
At an inland town,
With his Nancy on his knees, yeo-ho!
And is arm around her waist!
Chorus
Then man the capstan – off we go,
As the fiddler swings us round,
With a yeo heave ho,
And a rum below,
Hurrah for the homeward bound!
With a yeo heave ho,
And a rum below,
Yeo-ho, heave
ho, Yeo-
Ho, heave ho, heave
ho, heave ho, yeo-ho!
Nanki-Poo
A wand’ring minstrel I
A thing of shreds and patches,
Of ballads, songs and snatches,
And dreamy lullaby,
And dreamy
