Lyrics Tan Tan Tivvy Tally-Ho - George Formby
Do
yer
ken
John
Peel
with
his
coat
so
grey
He
was
a
huntsman,
so
they
say!
Now
I′m
going
to
tell
you,
one
and
all
Of
a
hunt
we
had
at
Teddicombe
Hall
First
in
the
field
with
a
hunt
that
year
We
started
off
with
a
huntsman's
cheer
I
was
in
charge
of
the
the
huntsman′s
beer
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-'o!
Sharp
on
the
stroke
of
nine
we
went
An
hour
in
a
lavender
field
we
spent
That
put
the
dogs
right
off
the
scent
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-'o!
Tally-ho!
Then
the
horn
began
to
blow
And
away
we
start
to
go
With
a
"Hi
gee
up!"
and
a
"Hi
gee
whoa!"
At
the
head
of
the
field
was
Major
Snell
He
hired
a
horse
from
the
Tram
Hotel
The
horse
wouldn′t
go
till
he
rang
his
bell
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Yoicks!
Yoicks!
Gee
up!
Give
'er
a
bit!
Old
Farmer
Grey,
who
is
eighty
eight
He
took
a
leap
at
a
five
bar
gate
He
landed
on
a
spot
where
I
can′t
state
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-'o!
A
lady
remarked
as
she
joined
the
group
"The
tail
of
the
fox
I
hope
to
scoop
′Cause
I'm
very
fond
of
foxtail
soup!"
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Up
and
down
We
were
bobbin'
up
and
down
I
was
next
to
Mrs
Brown
Who
was
shoutin',
"What
ho!
She
bumps,
he
ho!"
The
hounds
are
away
through
a
hedge
of
thorn
But
where
is
the
blast
of
the
huntsman′s
horn?
He
was
too
busy
blastin′
the
coat
he'd
torn
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Yoicks!
Dieu!
Dieu!
A
local
policeman,
I
confess
Joined
in
the
hunt,
and
as
you
can
guess
He
wanted
the
fox's
name
and
address
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
Johnson's
gee-gee
went
on
strike
He
left
him
there
and
began
to
hike
He
finished
the
hunt
on
an
old
pushbike
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-′o!
"To
the
kill!"
Someone
shouted,
"To
the
kill!"
And
as
we
got
up
the
hill
All
the
hounds
had
got
was
an
old
scarecrow!
The
dogs
were
keen
and
deservin'
praise
They
followed
the
fox
down
various
ways
For
eleven
more
months
and
ten
more
days
Tan
tan
tivvy
tally-'o!
Now
those
who
are
fond
of
a
huntsman′s
call
Must
come
to
the
hunt
down
Teddicombe
Hall
Bring
your
own
"yoicks!"
and
your
"tally
tally-′o!"
And
a-hunting
we
will
go!
