The Pirates of Penzance1983
[As Major General Stanley enters, all present sing to the tune of Pirate King's earlier song.]
Samuel:
For he is a Major General!
Daughters:
He is, hurrah for the Major General!
Major General Stanley:
And it is, it is a glorious thing to be a Major General.
All, in chorus:
Hurrah for the Major General, hurrah for the Major General!
The Pirate King:
(annoyed, muttering) That's the same as the "Pirate King" tune!
...
Major General Stanley:
Now that I have introduced myself, I should like to know what's going on here!
Kate Stanley:
Oh, Papa, we -
Samuel:
I can explain in two words: we propose to marry your daughters.
Gen. Stanley:
But-but... who are you?
The Pirate King:
We are all single gentlemen.
Kate:
Don't believe them, Papa! They're pirates - the famous Pirates of Penzance!
Gen. Stanley:
Mmm, wait a moment... I object to pirates as sons-in-law!
Pirate King:
Well, we object to major generals as fathers-in law! But we waive the point. We do not press it. We look over it.
