The Grand Old Duke of York

The Grand Old Duke of York

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men,

He marched them up to the top of the hill

And he marched them down again.

 

And when they were up they were up,

And when they were down they were down,

And when they were only half way up

They were neither up nor down.

 

They all marched up to the top of the hill,

With a hup, two, three, four, drilling their drill.

 

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men,

He marched them up to the top of the hill

And he marched them down again.

And when they were up they were up,

And when they were down they were down,

And when they were only half way up

They were neither up nor down.
