Owing to the somewhat
tardy entry of Mr Hurley...

1:52:03
...you, quite understandably,
followed suit.

1:52:05
Absolutely, sir.
1:52:06
So assuming that Mr Hurley "does" enter
at the correct place, you will too.

1:52:11
- Assuming he does, sir, I will, sir.
- Very good.

1:52:15
- Thank you, Mr Tripp!
- Thank you, sir.

1:52:17
- Capital! Er, gentlemen...
1:52:20
...once more from the beginning, please.
I shall give you one bar.

# A more humane Mikado never
1:52:32
# Did in Japan exist
1:52:34
# To nobody second I'm certainly
reckoned a true philanthropist

1:52:39
# It is my very humane endeavour
1:52:42
# To make, to some extent
1:52:45
# Each evil liver
1:52:47
# A running river
1:52:50
# Of harmless merriment
1:52:54
# My object all sublime
1:52:56
# I shall achieve in time
1:52:59
# To let the punishment fit the crime
1:53:01
# The punishment fit the crime
1:53:03
# And make each prisoner pent
1:53:06
# Unwillingly represent
1:53:08
# A source of innocent merriment
1:53:11
# Of innocent merriment
1:53:17
# The advertising quack
1:53:19
# Who wearies with tales
of countless cures

1:53:22
# His teeth, I've enacted
1:53:24
# Shall all be extracted
by terrified amateurs

1:53:26
# The music-hall singer attends a series
1:53:29
# Of masses and fugues and ops
1:53:31
# By Bach interwoven
with Spohr and Beethoven

1:53:33
# At classical Monday pops
1:53:35
# The billiard sharp
whom anyone catches

1:53:38
# His doom's extremely hard
1:53:40
# He's made to dwell in a dungeon cell
1:53:44
# On a spot that's always barred
1:53:47
# And there he plays extravagant matches
1:53:49
# In fitless fingerstalls
1:53:51
# On a cloth untrue
1:53:54
# With a twisted cue
1:53:56
# And elliptical billiard balls
