The Grand Old Duke of York

The Grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up the hill,
Everyone stands up
And marched them down again.
Everyone sits down
And when you're up, you're up;
Everyone stands up
And when you're down, you're down.
Everyone sits down
And when you're only halfway up,
Everyone half-way up
You're neither up nor down!

Alternate Lyrics:



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.
(repeat)
