HUNTING 
From "THE VAGABOND KING"

Music by Rudolf Friml, lyrics by Brian Hooker and W.H.Post

Sung by the Chorus on the Mario Lanza recording

Hunting, hunting, after a lady-
Daylight, moonlight, sunshine or shady-
While you're hunting, she'll be hunting you!

When you catch her, she will have caught you-
All you teach her, she will have taught you-
Yet she runs away when men pursue!

Same old game King Solomon used to play,
Still a favourite form of sport today!

Hunting, hunting, after a lady-
Sunday, weekday, workday or play day-
Someone hunting, someone hunting you!

Tally-ho, tally-ho, tally-ho, tally-ho, O!
Tantara, tantara, tantara!
