A British Tar Is A Soaring Soul lyrics
by Gilbert & Sullivan
("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" together:)
A British tar is a soaring soul,
As free as a mountain bird,
His energetic fist should be ready to resist
A dictatorial word.
("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" at different levels:)
His nose should should pant, and his lip should curl,
His cheeks should flame, and his brow should furl,
His bosom should heave, and his heart should glow (protrude),
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow...
(All:)
His nose should pant and his lip should curl,
His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl,
His bosom should heave and his heart should glow,
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow.
("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" together:)
His eyes should flash with an inborn fire,
His brow with scorn be wrung;
He never should bow down to a domineering frown,
Or the tang of a tyrant tongue.
("Ralph", "Boatswain" and the "Carpenter" at different levels:)
His foot should stamp, and his throat should growl,
His hair should twirl, and his face should scowl,
His eyes should flash, and his breast protrude,
And this should be his costomary attitude.
(All:)
His foot should stamp, and his throat should growl,
His hair should twirl, and his face should scowl;
His eyes should flash, and his breast protrude,
And this should be his customary attitude,
His attitude,
His attitude,
His attitude!
