Gilbert and Sullivan — No Ill Be Brave

[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!
