TURN THE RASCALS OUT R. Campaign
Arranged for solo voice (S:) with choir response (CH:) No time signature given, but notation implies 6/8 Notation in F
S: (F)The Dem's have long been howling, CH: (F)"O turn the rascals out!" S: (F)For years they've kept on growling, CH: (C)"O turn the rascals out!" S: (F)"They're wasting all our riches" CH: (C)"O turn the rascals out!" CH: (Bb)Those thieves will steal our breeches: (C)turn them out.* S: (F)At last with all their howling CH: (F)They turned the rascals out. S: (F)Like hungry wolves a prowling CH: (C)They rushed in with a shout! S: (F)And then, to be explicit CH: (F)They jumped the treas'ry fence CH: (Bb)And (F)found the great de – fic – (G)it, CH: (F)What do you think? – Two cents.
*Solo Bass echo "Turn them out" Except for phrase endings, which are sustained, the only deviation from quarter-eight-quarter-eighth rhythm is in the last line, where "what do you" is straight eights. Each phrase starts with an eighth pickup. All CH: phrases are marked forte. The final "What do you think Two Cents" is marked pianissimo Final "Two cents" solo bass, descending C to F, dotted quarters. Chords picked from score, and not verified by playing. Most solo lines are a simple "c F G a b c F" Choral responses are mostly fixed monotone – like a shout?
