Hot Mikado - Original Cast the mikado song

Select language to translate this lyric

A more humane mikado never did in Japan exist
To nobody second and certainly reckoned a true philanthropist
It is my most humane endeavour to make, to some extent, each evil liver a hurling river of innocent merriment.
1 2 3 4!
My object oh sublime I will achieve in time
To make the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime.
And make each prisoner pent, unwillingly represent, a source of innocent merriment, of innocent merriment.
The smoking man who puffs like a chimney,, and don't care where Ashes are tossed. I'll tiethe offender to hose mobile fenders and make him inhale the exhaust.
Colossal bois who read the whodunit, and glad that the butler's the crook, I'll give him a mystery by Agatha Christie with no final page to the book
