The Lyrics
This is the new version of I've Got A Little List from our 2012 production of The Mikado.
KO-KO: As someday it may happen that a victim must be found
I’ve got a Little List; I’ve got a Little List
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed, they never would be missed
There’s the pestilential nuisances who phone you from Mumbai
And try to sell insurance while your saucepans all boil dry
And the local council auditor whose budget’s in the red
Sticks up the price of parking and declares the town is dead
And councillors who sales of leisure centres do insist
They’re either stoned or pissed, if they think they won’t be missed
CHORUS: He’s got ‘em on the list, he’s got ‘em on the list
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of them be missed
KO-KO: There’s the dustman who on scattering your rubbish does persist
I’ve got him on the list, I’ve got him on the list
And the checkout girls who comment on your shopping can’t resist
They’d none of them be missed, they’d none of them be missed
There’s the Polish barman working in your local for low pay
Who’ll only start to serve you if you’re pretty, rich or gay
And the member of the Probus club, who after an attack
Have had their prostate gland removed and now would like it back
And the amateur director who does opera with a twist
I don’t think he’ll be missed, I’m sure he’d not be missed
CHORUS: He’s got him on the list, he’s got him on the list
And I don’t think he’ll be missed, I’m sure he’ll not be missed
KO-KO: The Cathedral dwelling protester who now is rather rife
The punk rock anarchist, I’ve got them on the list
All Aussie Cricket players and husbands who play golf
They’d none of them be missed, they’d none of them be missed
And Olympic politicians and their cronies of all kinds
Who hogged all of the tickets, even Shooting for the Blind
Like Seb and Ken oh What's-his-name and Boris You-know-who
I’d like to name the bastards but they’re quite inclined to sue
But it really doesn’t matter whom you put upon the list
For they’d none of them be missed, they’d none of them be missed
CHORUS: You may put ‘em on the list, you may put ‘em on the list
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of them be missed
I’ve got a Little List; I’ve got a Little List
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed, they never would be missed
There’s the pestilential nuisances who phone you from Mumbai
And try to sell insurance while your saucepans all boil dry
And the local council auditor whose budget’s in the red
Sticks up the price of parking and declares the town is dead
And councillors who sales of leisure centres do insist
They’re either stoned or pissed, if they think they won’t be missed
CHORUS: He’s got ‘em on the list, he’s got ‘em on the list
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of them be missed
KO-KO: There’s the dustman who on scattering your rubbish does persist
I’ve got him on the list, I’ve got him on the list
And the checkout girls who comment on your shopping can’t resist
They’d none of them be missed, they’d none of them be missed
There’s the Polish barman working in your local for low pay
Who’ll only start to serve you if you’re pretty, rich or gay
And the member of the Probus club, who after an attack
Have had their prostate gland removed and now would like it back
And the amateur director who does opera with a twist
I don’t think he’ll be missed, I’m sure he’d not be missed
CHORUS: He’s got him on the list, he’s got him on the list
And I don’t think he’ll be missed, I’m sure he’ll not be missed
KO-KO: The Cathedral dwelling protester who now is rather rife
The punk rock anarchist, I’ve got them on the list
All Aussie Cricket players and husbands who play golf
They’d none of them be missed, they’d none of them be missed

But it really doesn’t matter whom you put upon the list
For they’d none of them be missed, they’d none of them be missed
CHORUS: You may put ‘em on the list, you may put ‘em on the list
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of them be missed
