Tally Ho!
Once more to the breach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
That girl’s within reach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
The battles begun, and don’t give up
Till it’s done and you’ve won!
Soldier of love, who laid down your arms
Wounded and hurt when taken by charms
Play not the victim, nor be the fool
Remember the words of this golden rule
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
Once more to the breach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
That girl’s within reach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
The battles begun, and don’t give up
Till it’s done and you’ve won!
Hunters and jumpers and fox on the loose
The quarry is quick and may still slip the noose
Put bait on the line, and dangle the hook
Nothing is caught, if you don’t dare to look
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
Once more to the breach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
That girl’s within reach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
The battle begun, and don’t give up
Till it’s done and you’ve won!
Hey chum, still find yourself glum
She’s gone, it’s over and done
And now, you must start anew
Here’s what, you really must do
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
Once more to the breach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
That girl’s within reach!
Tally Ho! (Tally Ho!)
The battles begun, and don’t give up
Till it’s done and you’ve won! (x2)
