Overture Listen
Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry Listen
When Frederic was a little lad Listen
Oh, better far to live and die Listen
Oh false one, you have deceived me! Listen
What shall I do? — Climbing over rocky mountain Listen
Stop, ladies, pray! Listen
Oh, is there not one maiden breast Listen
Oh sisters, deaf to pity's name? Listen
Poor wandering one Listen
What ought we to do — How beautifully blue the sky Listen
Stay, we must not lose our senses! Listen
Here's a first-rate opportunity to get married with impunity Listen
Hold, monsters! Listen
I am the very model of a modern Major-General Listen
Oh, men of dark and dismal fate Listen
I'm telling a terrible story — Hail, Poetry — Oh, happy day Listen
Oh, master, hear one word, I do implore you! Listen
Pray observe the magnanimity we display to lace and dimity Listen
Oh, dry the glistening tear Listen
Now, Frederic, let your escort lion-hearted Listen
When the foeman bares his steel Listen
Now for the pirates' lair! Listen
Young Frederic! — Who calls? Listen
When you had left our pirate fold Listen
Away, away! My heart's on fire! Listen
All is prepared, your gallant crew await you Listen
Stay, Frederic, stay! Listen
Ah, leave me not to pine Listen
In 1940 I of age shall be — For here is love, and here is truth, and here is food for joyous laughter Listen
No, I'll be brave! Listen
Though in body and in mind Listen
When a felon's not engaged in his employment Listen
A rollicking band of pirates we Listen
With cat-like tread Listen
Hush, hush! Not a word! Listen
Sighing softly to the river Listen
Now what is this, and what is that Listen
Frederic here! Oh joy, oh rapture! — Poor wandering ones Listen
