The nobles herald the appearance of Ko-Ko. He appears and explains how he became the Lord High Executioner.

Men
Behold the Lord High Executioner!
A personage of noble rank and title –
A dignified and potent officer,
Whose functions are particularly vital!

Defer, defer, To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord,
To the Lord High Executioner!

Ko-Ko
Taken from the country jail
By a set of curious chances;
Liberated then on bail,
On my own recognizances;

Wafted by a fav’ring gale
As one sometimes is in trances,
To a height that few can scale,
Save by long and weary dances;

Surely, never had a male
Under such-like circumstances
So adventurous a tale,
Which may rank with most romances

Ko-Ko Men
Taken from the country jail Taken from the country jail
By a curious set of chances; Liberated then on bail,
Surely, never had a male Surely, never had a male
So adventurous a tale. So adventurous a tale.

Men
Defer, defer, To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord High Executioner!
Bow down, bow down,
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble, noble Lord
The High Executioner!
