00:00:23,779 --> 00:00:29,865
Some talk of Alexander,
and some of Hercules

2
00:00:29,957 --> 00:00:35,962
Of Hector and Lysander,
and such great names as these.

3
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,803
But of all the world's great heroes,
there's none that can compare.

4
00:00:41,826 --> 00:00:47,752
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
to the British Grenadiers.

5
00:00:47,787 --> 00:00:53,936
Whene'er we are commanded
to storm the palisades,

6
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,852
Our leaders march with fusees,
and we with hand grenades.

7
00:00:59,910 --> 00:01:05,931
We throw them from the glacis,
about the enemies' ears.

8
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,867
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
to the British Grenadiers.

9
00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:17,764
Then let us fill a bumper,
and drink the health of those

10
00:01:17,813 --> 00:01:23,761
Who carry caps and pouches,
and wear the loupèd clothes.

11
00:01:23,794 --> 00:01:29,759
May they and their commanders
live happy all their years.

12
00:01:29,793 --> 00:01:36,293
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
to the British Grenadiers.
