Well, welcome to the robbers' ball
Both gentlemen and ladies all
Are welcome to the revelry tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
There are no stouter men than we
It is not so, oh, no no no
It is not so, oh, no no no
Oh ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
It is not so, ha ha ha ha
It is not so
We noble men of Padua
Oh, noble city that you are
How glad you are when we come into sight
For in the middle of the night
We steal about without a light
And go where no one else would dare to fight
There are no stouter men than we
It is not so, no no no no
It is not so, oh, no no no
Oh, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Oh, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Oh, no no no, it is not so
No, nothing like that, it is not so
We noblemen of Halifax
We'll have you know for two brass tacks
That we're much better than the likes of you
And naught can beat us northern lads
The spitting image of our dads
Especially when we've had a pint or two
Oh, no no no (oh, no no no) , oh, no no no (oh, no no no)
Oh, no no no (oh, no no no) , that is not so
Oh no, oogy boogy boogy dow
Oogy boogy dow
Well, welcome to the robbers' ball
Both gentlemen and ladies all
Are welcome to the revelry tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
