steven byess & ohio light opera – el capitan, act ii: “fall in! attention!” lyrics
[scaramba, spoken]
fall in! attention! count fours—
[soldiers, spoken]
one, two, three, four
[scaramba]
your chest thrown out in a marked degree
your arms extend to form a “v”
then bend your body but not your knee
to be a perfect soldier
[soldiers]
your chest thrown out in a marked degree
your arms extend to form a “v”
then bend your body but not your knee
to be a perfect soldier
[drummer boys]
a sailor’s life may be romantic
when rolling over the broad atlantic
a soldier’s life a fraud gigantic
if that is what he must do
[soldiers & drummer boys]
a sailor’s life may be romantic
when rolling over the broad atlantic
a soldier’s life a fraud gigantic
if that is what he must do
[scaramba]
extend your left foot wеll in the air
upon your right, your body you bear
then forward stеp with the utmost care
to be a perfect soldier
[soldiers]
extend your left foot well in the air
upon your right, your body you bear
then forward step with the utmost care
to be a perfect soldier
[drummer boys]
a sailor’s life may be romantic
when rolling over the broad atlantic
a soldier’s life a fraud gigantic
if that is what he must do
[soldiers & drummer boys]
a sailor’s life may be romantic
when rolling over the broad atlantic
a soldier’s life a fraud gigantic
if that is what he must do
[verrada, spoken]
scaramba, still watching over your prisoner?
[scaramba, spoken]
no, that’s the job of el capitan, “the bloodthirsty.”
[verrada, spoken]
but i thought you were an admirer of his.
[scaramba, spoken]
i was, but i hate him now. estrelda is fascinated by him and… bah! verrada, i was too sure of her. keep your isabel out of this capitan’s sight, for he has hypnotized every woman in tampoza. the history of his hundred battles overwhelms them.
[verrada, spoken]
it’s el capitan. he must be coming!
[scaramba, spoken]
then i’m going. listen, every one of those cheers costs him ten sous. besides, if we meet, i might—
[don medigua, spoken]
to arms, to arms for liberty
[men, spoken]
to arms, to arms for liberty
[don medigua]
behold el capitan!
gaze on his misanthropic stare
notice his penetrating glare
come, match him if you can
he is the champion beyond compare
[men]
behold el capitan!
[don medigua]
gaze on his misanthropic stare
notice his penetrating glare
[men]
come, match him if you can
[don medigua]
he is the champion beyond
[don medigua & men]
compare
