| Hildebrand. | ||
| Now hearken to my strict command On every hand, on every hand — |
||
| Chorus. | ||
| To your command, On every hand, |
||
| We dutifully bow! | ||
| Hildebrand. | ||
| If Gama bring the Princess here, Give him good cheer, give him good cheer. |
||
| Chorus. | ||
| If she come here We'll give him a cheer, |
||
| And we will show you how. | ||
| Hip, hip, hurrah! hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! |
||
| We'll shout and sing Long live the King, |
||
| And his daughter, too, I trow! | ||
| Then shout ha! ha! hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hip, hip, hurrah! For the fair Princess and her good papa, |
||
| Hurrah, hurrah! | ||
| Hildebrand. | ||
| But if he fail to keep his troth, Upon our oath, we'll trounce them both! |
||
| Chorus. | ||
| He'll trounce them both, Upon his oath, |
||
| As sure as Quarter-Day! | ||
| Hildebrand. | ||
| We'll shut him up in a dungeon cell, And toll his knell on a funeral bell! |
||
| Chorus. | ||
| From his dungeon cell, His funeral knell |
||
| Shall strike him with dismay! | ||
| Hip, hip, hurrah! hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! |
||
| As up we string The faithless King, |
||
| In the old familiar way! | ||
| We'll shout ha! ha! hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hip, hip, hurrah! As we make an end of her false papa, |
||
| Hurrah, hurrah! | ||
Exeunt all.
