文本歌词
A British tar is a soaring soulAs free as a mountain birdHis energetic fist should be ready to resistA dictatorial wordHis nose should pant and his lip should curlHis cheeks should flame and his brow should furlHis bosom should heave and his heart should glowAnd his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blowHis nose should pant and his lip should curlHis cheeks should flame and his brow should furlHis bosom should heave and his heart should glowAnd his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blowHis eyes should flash with an inborn fireHis brow with scorn be wrungHe never should bow down to a domineering frownOr the tang of a tyrant tongueHis foot should stamp and his throat should growlHis hair should curl and his face should scowlHis eyes should flash and his breast protrudeAnd this should be his customary attitudeHis foot should stamp and his throat should growlHis hair should curl and his face should scowlHis eyes should flash and his breast protrudeAnd this should be his customary attitudeHis attitudeHis attitudeHis attitude
