Three little maids from school are we, pert as a school-girl well can be, filled to the brim with girlish glee

The famous lines "Three little maids from school are we, pert as a school-girl well can be, filled to the brim with girlish glee" are from the operetta "The Mikado" by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. These words are sung by the characters Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, and Pitti-Sing, who are the three young wards of the Mikado in the fictional town of Titipu.
