Iolanthe ’04
Sung to the tune of “Spurn Not the Nobly Born”
Lord Tolloller’s song from Act I
Written by Ernest Brody
Performed by James Ahrens and the Men’s Chorus
Turn off your cell phone please,
Before it makes a racket.
It’s in your purse right now,
Or p’rhaps it’s in your jacket.
We find it hard to sing
If it should start to ring,
So please turn off that thing,
If you should pack it.
Cell phones! Cell phones!
There’s one thing that we hate,
If you communicate,
While we try to orate,
Turn off your cell phones!
There’s one thing that we hate,
If you communicate,
When we try to orate,
Turn off … No cell phones!
