Full Orchestra. Complete list (150+) http://www.karaokeopera.com 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 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 lull- Chorus Of dream lul-la-by! y lul-la-by la-lul-la-by, lul-la-by Czech Symphony Orchestra Holst Singers John Landor A Musical Concepts production
