    Acid Cabaret pillages the operatic songbook for this sardonic slice of venom from the Gilbert and Sullivan songbook. Written in 1884, still pretty darn good today. CD available at www.acidcabaret.com.
    CD: Acid Cabaret   Label: Haywire
    Credits: William Gilbert/Arthur Sullivan

    Story Behind the Song
    Song is from the operetta "Princess Ida", where it is sung by the arrogant King Gama. Pretty much stands on its own and speaks for itself.

    Lyrics
    If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am - I'm a genuine philanthropist, all other kinds are sham. Each little fault of temper and each social defect in my erring fellow creatures I endeavor to correct. To all their little weaknesses I open people's eyes, and little plans to snub the self-sufficient I devise. I love my fellow creatures, I do all the good I can, yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable man, and I can't think why...
