Austin Gaffney & Liam Devally - The Bold Gendarmes

THE BOLD GENDARMES
(Offenbach)
We're public guardians, bold yet wary,
And of ourselves, we take good care,
To risk our precious lives, we're chary,
When danger looms, we're never there
But when we meet some helpless woman,
Or little boys that do no harm
We run them in, We run them in,
We run them in, We run them in,
We show them, we're the bold gendarmes,
We run them in, We run them in,
We run them in, We run them in,
We show them, we're the bold gendarmes!
Sometimes our duty's extra mural,
When little butterflies we chase
We like to gambol in things rural,
Commune with nature, face to face,
And to our beats then back returning,
Refreshed by nature's holy charms,
If gentlemen should make a riot,
And punch each other's heads at night,
We're quite disposed to keep it quiet.
Provided that they make it right,
But if they do not seem to see it,
Or give to us our proper terms.
We run them in, we run them in.
We run them in, we run them in,
We show them we're the bold gendarmes.
We run them in, we run them in,
We run them in, we run them in,
We show them we're the bold gendarmes.
