A more humane Mikado never	A
Did in Japan exist	B
To nobody second	C
I'm certainly reckoned	C
A true philanthropist	D
It is my very humane endeavour	A
To make to some extent	E
Each evil liver	A
A running river	A
Of harmless merriment	E
	-
My object all sublime	F
I shall achieve in time	F
To let the punishment fit the crime	F
The punishment fit the crime	F
And make each prisoner pent	E
Unwillingly represent	E
A source of innocent merriment	E
Of innocent merriment	E
	-
All prosy dull society sinners	G
Who chatter and bleat and bore	H
Are sent to hear sermons	I
From mystical Germans	I
Who preach from ten to four	H
The amateur tenor whose vocal villainies	I
All desire to shirk	J
Shall during off hours	I
Exhibit his powers	I
To Madame Tussaud's waxwork	J
The lady who dyes a chemical yellow	K
Or stains her grey hair puce	I
Or pinches her figger	H
Is blacked like a nigger	H
With permanent walnut juice	I
The idiot who in railway carriages	I
Scribbles on window panes	I
We only suffer	H
To ride on a buffer	H
In Parliamentary trains	I
	-
My object all sublime	F
I shall achieve in time	F
To let the punishment fit the crime	F
The punishment fit the crime	F
And make each prisoner pent	E
Unwillingly represent	E
A source of innocent merriment	E
Of innocent merriment	E
	-
The advertising quack who wearies	I
With tales of countless cures	I
His teeth I've enacted	E
Shall all be extracted	E
By terrified amateurs	I
The music hall singer attends a series	I
Of masses and fugues and ops	I
By Bach interwoven	L
With Spohr and Beethoven	L
At classical Monday Pops	I
The billiard sharp whom any one catches	I
His doom's extremely hard	E
He's made to dwell	M
In a dungeon cell	M
On a spot that's always barred	E
And there he plays extravagant matches	I
In fitless finger stalls	I
On a cloth untrue	H
With a twisted cue	H
And elliptical billiard balls	I
	-
My object all sublime	F
I shall achieve in time	F
To let the punishment fit the crime	F
The punishment fit the crime	F
And make each prisoner pent	E
Unwillingly represent	E
A source of innocent merriment	E
Of innocent merriment	E
