Through the streets and throughfares
Fanfare is everywhere
Now is here & then is gone
Time to dazzle & move on
Tantara to begin - Tantara start again
Tantra in a throng - Tantara everyone
Don't be lame don't be limp
Don't be rowdy don't be meek
I'm in no mood so sit & weep
Coloured lights & high jinks
Tantara with a flair - Tantara if you dare
Tantara anywhere - Tantara everywhere
It's a toast & 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 is here & then is gone
Time to dazzle & move on
Tantara euphoric - Tantara mesmeric
Tantara to begin - Tantara start again
