G & S QuotesVarious phrases from G&S shows have found their way into the popular (or unpopular) lexicon; possibly altered in some way. Submit more quotes here. Here are some of them:
The Chorus
I wouldn't say a word that could be reckoned as injurious
But to find a mother younger than her son is very curious.
And that's the kind of mother that is usually spurious.
After having found Strephon canoodling with his mother
From Iolanthe.
Captain Corcoran
"A Plump and Pleasing Person."
After Little Buttercup talks to the captain
From H.M.S. Pinafore.
The Peers
"She'll meet him after dark inside St. James' park and give him one"
Finale, Act I
From Iolanthe.
KO-KO
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list, I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed, who never would be missed!
The "List" song; can be sung with verses reworded to suit all occassions
From Mikado.
