The Grand Old Duke Of York

A clever song mocking military madness: The Grand Old Duke always requires some extent of Military flavour in its arrangement, so that is what it got on the Nursery Rhyme Collection album. A real army might just start marching if this was playing nearby! Notable brass work again by Peter Kalff.


This version is available on the double album The Nursery Rhyme Collection


                 

The Grand Old Duke Of York
“Very good, carry on!”

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.

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.
