The Grand Old Duke of York

The king of France, the king of France, with forty thousand men,
Oh, they all went up the hill, and so--came back again!

Oh, the brave 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.

       And when they were only half-way up, 
       They were neither up nor down.
