PEERS: Loudly let the trumpet bray!
Tantantara! Tantantara!
Proudly bang the sounding brasses!
Tzing! Boom!
As upon its lordly way
This unique procession passes,
Tantantara, tantantara, tantantara, tantara,
tantara, tantara, tantara, tantara,
tantara, tantara, tantara, tantara!
Tzing! Boom!
Bow, bow, ye lower middle classes!
Bow, bow, ye tradesmen, bow, ye masses!
Blow the trumpets, bang the brasses!

Bow, bow, ye lower middle classes!
Bow, bow, ye tradesmen, bow, ye masses!

We are peers of highest station,
Paragons of legislation,
Pillars of the British nation!
