The Grand Ol' Duke of York
The grand ol' 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.

He marched them to the left,
He marched them to the right,
He marched them round and round the town,
And he marched them out of sight.
