This description is a crime against scansion. I tried to sing it to the tune of the song, and let's just say it didn't work. That said, I have no clue how to properly rewrite it.

I think you just have to pronounce some of the words, ah, creatively. (And this happens in plenty of G&S songs anyway... :P )
I certainly don't think any re-write is needed, unless some truly brilliant songwriter happens by and feels very inspired. :P The current version is quite good, I think.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Ahhh, crud. I'll have to add this here:
And this page would not be complete without the XKCD And its definitive reviewing of how Every Major's Terribly
Yeah, it takes some limits with the prosody and language and damn nearly everything else. But here you go.
To Tannhaeuser, the person who tried to delete the incredibly awesome self-demonstrating song to replace it with a boring regular description: I must ask you a very, very important question.
Are you insane?
I'm sorry, that was harsh. But... But seriously! Why! Whyyy
