Here's a clue:

This one is hard I give up I know it must be Gilbert and Sullivan

Not quite. It's Gilbert O'Sullivan.
Here's to the child who applied for a divorce - I Don't Trust Men With Earrings In Their Ears - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Nay i would have not got that one

Ok try this one then

Ev'ry time I look into the Holy Book I want to tremble
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas
Than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be.

And this one

She must be a magic genie
But then she disappeared around the corner
All I saw were three doors
And the top of her bikini

I'll let some of the others have a go at that. Meanwhile, try this:

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!

I think that was from the Pirates of Penzance not very sure of the title will have to think on it a bit more.

Edit -

Something about a General I think. Otherwise I give up

You're tantalizingly close. :)

Major General Stanley and if it is not then I am truly stumped. I can remember the kids practising this thing to death at one time

I'll give you that. Well done!

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's - Major-General's Song - The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan

Ha ha seeing the video I don't know how I even struggled with it

ok try this one

He told me tales and he drank my wine.
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine.
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire.
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire

Ok I am shutting down for the night so here are my 3

Not a clue. However, can you name the song written by Tom Lehrer set to the same tune as the Major-General's Song?
