No. 11 - Patrol Chorus - "The Night is Dark"

Lyrics by H. Meilhac, Ph. Gille, and H. B. Farne

[Basses:] Keep all in step!
Keep all in step! Keep all in step!
[Tenors:] The night is dark and low'ring,
[All:] As we the pass our scouring,
Poor Rip we search for still,
[Basses:] And much against our will!
[Tenors:] Although we're men undaunted,
[All:] We know this place is haunted,
And 'tis not very clear
[Basses:] Who may be lurking near!
[All:] What's that within the brake?
'Twas only our mistake!
[Tenors:] The night is dark and low'ring,
[All:] As we the pass our scouring,
Poor Rip we search for still,
[Basses:] And much against our will!
[Tenors:] Although we're men undaunted,
[All:] We know this place is haunted,
And 'tis not very clear
[Basses:] Who may be lurking near!
[All:] Ah!
