The Grand Old Duke of York

The Grand Old Duke of York is a nursery rhyme.

Lyrics
Oh the grand old duke of York

He had 10,000 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 halfway up

They were neither up nor down.

Oh the grand old duke of York

He had 10,000 men

They beat their drums to the top of the hill

And they beat them down again

And when they were up, they were up

And when they were down, they were down

And when they were only halfway up

They were neither up nor down.

Oh the grand old duke of York

He had 10,000 men

They played their pipes to the top of the hill

And they played them down again

And when they were up, they were up

And when they were down, they were down

And when they were only halfway up

They were neither up nor down.

Oh the grand old duke of York

He had 10,000 men

They banged their guns to the top of the hill

And they banged them down again

And when they were up, they were up

And when they were down, they were down

And when they were only halfway up

They were neither up nor down.
