The Grand Old Duke of York

THE  GRAND  OLD  DUKE  OF  YORK


The grand old Duke of York’s fleets
Had ten thousand men
Who  all had problems with public toilet seats
Again and again and again.

When they were up,  they were up; 
And when they were down, they were down;
And when they were only halfway up 
You knew the Duke had left town.
