Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Austin a british tar

Select language to translate this lyric

A British tar is a soaring soul.
As free as a mountain bird.
His energetic fist should be ready to resist,
a dictatorial word (Sing Worf, Sing!)
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
(FASTER)
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
(SLOWER)
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.
His foot should stamp and his throat should growl,
his hair should curl and his face should scowl,
his eyes should flash and his breast protrude
and this should be his customary attitude
(FASTER)
His foot should stamp and his throat should growl
His hair should curl 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 At-----ti-----tude
