SONGS OF MY YOUTH AND CHILDHOOD

This is a real bit of nonsense from Pirates of Penzance....The Major General's song. Fortunately the provide the lyrics as I certainly can't make out the words he sings. I wonder what the youth of today would think of this?
I won't think less of you if you don't watch it through to the end.
