Now is the time for marching....

[Easy 10]

Now let your hearts be gay
Hark to the merry bugles
Sounding along our way
So let your voices ring my boys
And take the time from me
You can tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea

(all together now)

Good old Sussex by the Sea
Good old Sussex by the Sea
You can tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Seeeeaaaaa

 

[Puppet Master]

Will never catch on, so cringey and tinpot

I'm not a pedant, but should the last 2 lines of the first verse not be:

And I'll sing you a song as we march along
Of Sussex by the sea


Or have I been singing it wrong all these years?

Sussex Sussex by the sea

I think.....

You think correctly

You are correct
But I just think this version is more immediately sing-able from the stands.

Fair point that.

Now is the time for marching
Now let your hearts be gay
Hark to the merry bugles
Sounding along our way
So let your voices ring my boys
and take the time from me
and I'll sing you a song as we march along
of Sussex by the Sea

Sussex, Sussex by the Sea
Good old Sussex by the Sea
You can tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea
