No. 23: RECITATIVE & SOLO (Mabel & Sergeant)
with CHORUS
"No, I'll be brave!"
|
| Mabel. (almost fainting) |
No, I’ll be brave! Oh, family descent,
How great thy charm, thy sway how excellent!
Come one and all, undaunted men in blue,
A crisis, now, affairs are coming to! |
| |
| Enter Police, marching in single file. |
| |
| Sergeant. |
| Though in body and in mind, |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! tarantara! |
| Sergeant. |
| We are timidly inclined, |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! |
|
| Sergeant. |
| And anything but blind – |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! tarantara! |
| Sergeant. |
| To the danger that’s behind. |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! |
| Sergeant. |
| Yet, when the danger’s near, |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! tarantara! |
| Sergeant. |
| We manage to appear – |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! |
| Sergeant. |
As insensible to fear
As anybody here,
As anybody here. |
| Police. |
| Tarantara! |
|
|
| Sergeant & 1st Bass. |
2nd Bass. |

ra, ra, ra, ra, |
| Tarantara, tarantara, |
ra, ra, ra, ra, |
| Tarantara, tarantara, |
ra, ra, ra, ra, |
| Tarantara, tarantara, |
ra, ra, ra, ra, |
| Tarantara, ra, ra, |
Tarantara, ra, ra, |
