Pirates. (very loud)
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all,
We never speak a word,
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard -

Police. (pianissimo)
Tarantara, tarantara!

Pirates.
So stealthily the pirate creeps,
While all the household soundly sleeps.

Pirates.
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracee
With a little burglaree!

Police.
Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra,
Ra, Tarantara, ra, ra!

Samuel. (distributing implements to various members of the gang)
Here's your crowbar and your centrebit,
Your life-preserver - you may want to hit!
Your silent matches, your dark lantern seize,
Take your file and your skeletonic keys.

Enter KING, FREDERIC and RUTH.

Police.
Tarantara.

Pirates.
With cat-like tread
