THEATRE ROYAL.

MONDAY, 9th MAR., Messrs Gilbert & Sullivan’s most Successful Opera

“PRINCESS IDA”

With William Beverley’s Magnificent Scenery

A Boy’s Best Friend is his Mother

Sung by Miss FLO CAPEL.

Whilst travelling thro’ this world this rugged road of life,
How few the friends that daily here we meet,
Not many will stand by, in trouble or in strife,
With love or affection ever sweet.
But there is one whose smiles will never from us turn,
They’re dearer and finer than all others,
And which ever way we turn, this lesson we will learn,
A boy’s best friend is his mother.

Chorus

Cherish her with care and smooth her silvery hair,
For whom gone, we’ll never find another,
And which ever way we turn, this lesson we shall learn,
A boy’s best friend is his mother.

Though all the world may frown, and every friend depart
She will never forsake us in our need,
Our refuge evermore is still within her heart,
For us her loving sympathy will plead.
Her bright and cheerful smiles will cheer us on our way,
They’re finer and dearer than all others,
And which ever way we turn, this lesson we must learn,
A boy’s best friend is his mother.

Her kind and cheerful smiles not long may greet us here,
Then cherish her with our kindness and our love,
Remember at her knees in childhood’s happy days,
Her voice was like the angels from above.
Tho’ after years may bring our sadness and our woe,
For the loss of one, our dearest mother,
Then our throbbing hearts will learn, which ever way we turn,
A boy’s best friend was his mother.
