[Shelton:]
The cavalcade approaches, and I bid you all,
With solemn step and proper dignity,
Prepare to meet our sov'reign lady Queen!
[Dormer:]
What say you, comrades, shall we not provide
A fitting palfrey for our alderman to ride?
[Crook:]
Ay, lads! and let them search the whole world round
To find two pairs of legs one half as sound!
[Both:]
Your worship's nag awaits you at the door.
[Dormer:]
Now, lads, come hoist him,
[Both:]
One, Two, Three, Four,
[All:]
Hurrah!
[Girls:]
Up you get, and round you go,
Now, lads, your best of cheers bestow--
Hip, hip, hurrah! for the champions of the bow!
[All:]
Up you get, and round you go,
Now, lads, your best of cheers bestow--
Hip, hip, hurrah! for the champions of the bow!
[Men:]
Hip, hurrah! for the champions of the bow!
[All:]
of the bow!
Now, lads, your best of cheers bestow--
for the champions of the bow!
