Ralph, Boatswain & Carpenter. |
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. | Carpenter. |
His nose | ||
His nose should pant, | should pant, And | |
And his lip should curl, | his lip should | |
His cheeks should flame, | curl, His cheeks should | |
And his brow should furl, | flame, And his brow | |
His bosom should heave, | should furl, And his bosom | |
And his heart should glow, | should heave, And his heart | |
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow. |
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow. |
should glow, And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow. |

Ralph. | Boatswain. | Carpenter. |
His foot | ||
His foot should stamp, | should stamp, And | |
And his throat should growl, | his throat should | |
His hair should twirl, | growl, His hair should | |
And his face should scowl, | twirl, And his face | |
His eyes should flash, | should scowl, And his eyes | |
And his breast protrude, | should flash, And his breast | |
And this should be his customary attitude. |
And this should be his customary attitude. |
protrude, And this his customary attitude. |
Chorus. |
His foot should stamp, and his throat should growl, |
All dance off excepting Ralph, who remains, leaning pensively against bulwark.
