A British Tar Is A Soaring Soul lyrics<br>
by Gilbert & Sullivan<br>

("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" together:)<br>

A British tar is a soaring soul,<br>
As free as a mountain bird,<br>
His energetic fist should be ready to resist<br>
A dictatorial word.<br>

("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" at different levels:)<br>

His nose should should pant, and his lip should curl,<br>
His cheeks should flame, and his brow should furl,<br>
His bosom should heave, and his heart should glow (protrude),<br>
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow...<br>

(All:)<br>

His nose should pant and his lip should curl,<br>
His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl,<br>
His bosom should heave and his heart should glow,<br>
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow.<br>

("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" together:)<br>

His eyes should flash with an inborn fire,<br>
His brow with scorn be wrung;<br>
He never should bow down to a domineering frown,<br>
Or the tang of a tyrant tongue.<br>

("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" at different levels:)<br>

His foot should stamp, and his throat should growl,<br>
His hair should twirl, and his face should scowl,<br>
His eyes should flash, and his breast protrude,<br>
And this should be his costomary attitude.<br>

(All:)<br>

His foot should stamp, and his throat should growl,<br>
His hair should twirl, and his face should scowl;<br>
His eyes should flash, and his breast protrude,<br>
And this should be his customary attitude,<br>
His attitude,<br>
His attitude,<br>
His attitude!
