And I am right, And you are right, And all is right as right can be! CHORUS. And you are right. And we are right, etc This stem decree, you'll understand, Caused great dismay throughout the land! For young and old And shy and bold Were equally affected. The youth who winked a roving eye, Or breathed a non-connubial sigh, Was thereupon condemned to die— He usually objected. And you'll allow, as I expect, That he was right to so object. And I am right, And you are right, And everything is quite correct! CHORUS.

And you are right, And we are right, etc. [Exeunt Chorus. Enter Pooh-Bah.
