When the Foeman Bares His Steel
When the foeman bares his steel
Tarantara, tarantara
We uncomfortable feel
Tarantara
And we find the wisest thing
Tarantara, tarantara
Is to slap our chest and sing
Tarantara
For when threatened with emeutes
Tarantara, tarantara
And your heart is in your boots
Tarantara
There is nothing brings it round
Like the trumpet's martial sound
Like the trumpet's martial sound
Tarantara, tarantara
Tarantara, tarantara
Tarantara, tarantara
Tarantara, tarantara
Tarantara, tarantara
Tarantara, tarantara
Tarantara, tarantara
Ra ra, tarantara
Go, ye heroes, go to glory
Though ye 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
Go, ye heroes, go and die
Go, ye heroes, go and die
Though to us it's evident
Tarantara, tarantara
These attentions are well meant
Tarantara
Such expressions don't appear
Tarantara, tarantara
Calculated men to cheer
Tarantara
Who are going to meet their fate
In a highly nervous state
Tarantara, tarantara, tarantara
Still to us it's evident
These attentions are well meant
Tarantara, tarantara, tarantara
Go and do your best endeavor
And before all links we sever
We will say farewell for ever
Go to glory and the grave
Go to glory and the grave
For your foes are fierce and ruthless
False, unmerciful, and truthless
Young and tender, old and toothless
All in vain their mercy crave
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 criticize
For it's very evident
These attentions are well meant
Yes, perhaps it would be wise
Not to carp or criticize
For it's very evident
These attentions are well meant
Yes, it's very evident
These intentions are well meant
Evident
Yes, well meant
Evident
Ah, yes, well meant!
When the foeman bears his steel (go, ye heroes)
Tarntara, tarantara (go to glory)
We uncomfortable feel (though you die)
Tarantara (in combat gory)
And we find the wisest thing (ye shall live in)
Tarantara, tarantara (song and story)
Is to slap our chests and sing (go to immortality)
Tarantara
Go to death, and go to slaughter (for when threatened with emeutes, tarantara, tarantara)
Die, and every Cornish daughter (and your heart is in your boots, tarantara)
With her tears your grave shall water (there is nothing brings it round like the trumpet's martial sound)
Go, ye heroes, go and die (like the trumpet's martial sound, tarantara, tarantara)
Go ye heroes, go to immortality (tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara)
Go ye heroes, go to immortality (tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara)
Though you die in combat gory (tarantara, tarantara)
Ye shall live in song and story (tarantara, tarantara)
Go to immortality (tarantara, ra, ra, tarantara)
Away, away
Yes, yes, we go
These pirates slay
Tarantara
They do not stay
Tarantara
Then why this delay
Alright, we go
Yes, forward on the foe
Yes, forward on the foe
They're still here
We go, we go
Yes, forward on the foe
Yes, forward on the foe
Mabel, they're still here!
At last they go (we go, we go)
At last they go, at last they go (we go, we go)
At last they really, really go (we go, we go, we go, we go)
Yes, but they don't go!
We go, we go
Yes, forward on the foe
Yes, forward on the foe
Oh dammit, they don't go!
At last they go (we go, we go)
At last they go, at last they go (we go, we go)
At last they really, really (we go, we go, we go, we go)
Really, really, really, really go (we go, we go, we go, we go)
Tarantara, tarantara
We uncomfortable feel
Tarantara
