Loading...

(enter police, marching in single file. they form in
line, facing audience.)

solos and chorus: when the foeman bares his steel

sergeant: when the foeman bares his steel,

police: tarantara! tarantara!

sergeant: we uncomfortable feel,

police: tarantara!

sergeant: and we find the wisest thing,

police: tarantara! tarantara!

sergeant: is to slap our chests and sing,

police: tarantara!

sergeant: for when threatened with émeutes,

police: tarantara! tarantara!

sergeant: and your heart is in your boots,

police: tarantara!

sergeant: there is nothing brings it round
like the trumpet’s martial sound,
like the trumpet’s martial sound

police: tarantara! tarantara!, etc.

mabel: go, ye heroes, go to glory,
though you die in combat gory,
ye shall live in song and story.
go to immortality!
go to death, and go to slaughter;
die, and every cornish daughter
with her tears your grave shall water.
go, ye heroes, go and die!

girls: go, ye heroes, go and die! go, ye heroes, go and
die!

sergeant: though to us it’s evident,

police: tarantara! tarantara!

sergeant: these attentions are well meant,

police: tarantara!

sergeant: such expressions don’t appear,

police: tarantara! tarantara!

sergeant: calculated men to cheer

police: tarantara!

sergeant: who are going to meet their fate
in a highly nervous state.

police: tarantara! tarantara! tarantara!

sergeant: still to us it’s evident
these attentions are well meant.

police: tarantara! tarantara! tarantara!

edith: go and do your best endeavour,
and before all links we sever,
we will say farewell for-ever.
go to glory and the grave!

girls: go to glory and the grave!
for your foes are fierce and ruthless,
false, unnierciful, and truthless;
young and tender, old and toothless,
all in vain their mercy crave.

sergeant: we observe too great a stress,
on the risks that on us press,
and of reference a lack
to our chance of coming back.
still, perhaps it would be wise
not to carp or criticise,
for it’s very evident
these attentions are well meant.

police: yes, it’s very evident
these attentions are well meant,
evident, yes, well meant, evident
ah, yes, well meant!

police:
when the foeman bares his steel, etc.

girls:
go, ye heroes, go to glory! etc.

general: away, away!

police: (without moving) yes, yes, we go.

general: these pirates slay.

police: tarantara!

general: then do not stay.

police: tarantara!

general: then why this delay?

police: all right, we go.

all: yes, forward on the foe!
yes, forward on the foe!

general: yes, but you don’t go!

police: we go, we go

all: yes, forward on the foe!
yes, forward on the foe!

general: yes, but you don’t go!

police: we go, we go

all: at last they go!
at last they really go!
