Lyrics The Yeomen of the Guard, Act I: "Well sung and well danced!" - Neil Mackie feat. Anthony Michaels-Moore, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chorus, Robert Lloyd, Sylvia McNair, Sir Thomas Allen, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner
Well
sung
and
well
danced
A
kiss
for
that
pretty
maid
Away
with
it!
Clear
the
rabble
Now,
my
girl,
who
are
you?
And
what
do
you
here?
May
it
please
you
sir,
we
are
two
strolling
players,
Jack
Point
and
I,
Elsie
Maynard,
at
your
worship's
service
We
go
from
fair
to
fair,
singing
and
Dancing
and
playing
brief
interludes
And
so
we
make
a
poor
living
The
two
of
you,
eh?
Are
you
man
and
wife?
No,
sir
For
though
I'm
a
fool,
there
is
a
limit
to
me
folly
Her
mother,
old
Bridget
Maynard,
is
abed
with
fever
Hark
ye,
my
girl
Your
mother
is
ill?
Sorely
ill,
sir
And
needs
good
food
and
many
things
thou
canst
not
buy?
Alas,
sir,
it
is
too
true
Would'st
thou
earn
an
hundred
crowns?
An
hundred
crowns!
They
might
save
her
life
Then
listen
A
worthy
but
unhappy
gentleman
is
to
be
Beheaded
in
an
hour
on
this
very
spot
For
sufficient
reasons,
he
desires
to
marry
before
He
dies,
and
he
has
asked
me
to
find
him
a
wife
Wilt
thou
be
that
wife?
The
wife
of
a
man
I
have
never
seen?
Have
we
your
worship's
word
for
it
that
this
gentleman
will
die
today?
Nothing
is
more
certain,
I
grieve
to
say
And
that
the
maiden
will
be
allowed
to
depart
The
very
instant
the
ceremonies
have
ended?
The
very
instant
I
pledge
my
honor
that
it
shall
be
so
An
hundred
crowns?
An
hundred
crowns
For
my
part,
I
consent
It's
for
Elsie
to
say
