Lyrics of Tantara!

Through the streets and thoroughfares
Fanfare is everywhere
Now it's here and then is gone
Time to dazzle and move on

Tantara! to begin, tantara! start again
Tantara! in a throng, tantara! everyone

Don't be lame, don't be limp
Don't be dowdy, don't be meek
I'm in no mood to sit and weep
Colored lights and high jinks

Tantara! with a flair, tantara! if you dare
Tantara! anywhere, tantara! everywhere

It's a toast and not a boast
With a swagger to the host
It's a party, a pageantry
To celebrate our clarity

Hour zero by jingo
A new day, fandango
Now it's here and then is gone
Time to dazzle and move on

Tantara! euphoric, tantara! mesmeric
Tantara! to begin, tantara! start again
Tantara! tantara! tantara!

Hour zero by jingo
A new day, fandango
Now it's here and then is gone
Time to dazzle and move on

Tantara! euphoric, tantara! mesmeric
Tantara! to begin, tantara! start again

No more, maybe, no more could be
Say, "yes", say, "yes", hey
