No, I'll Be Brave! Lyrics

[MABEL]
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 CHORUS OF POLICE & SERGEANT, marching in single file)

[SERGEANT, CHORUS OF POLICE]
Ta-ran ta-ra! Ta-ran ta-ra!
We are timidly inclined
Ta-ran ta-ra!
And anything but blind
Ta-ran ta-ra! Ta-ran ta-ra!
To the danger that's behind,
Ta-ran ta-ra!
Yet, when the danger's near, Ta-ran ta-ra! Ta-ran ta-ra!
We manage to appear
Ta-ran ta-ra!
As insensible to fear
As anybody here,
As anybody here.

[SERGEANT & CHORUS OF POLICE]
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran, ta-ran,
Ra! Ra! Ra!, Ta-ran, ta-ran!
