2nd and 9th Song

 

Sung to the tune of 'Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye'

 

 

The frenchies marched by two by two

Hurrah, Hurrah

The frenchies marched by two by two

Hurrah, Hurrah

The frenchies marched by two by two

They couldnt see us but we could see you

Boom Boom Boom Boom

We're gonna win the war

 

We loaded with chain and cannister shot

Hurrah Hurrah

We loaded with chain and cannister shot

Hurrah Hurrah

We loaded with chain and cannister shot

Major Cole shouted fire and we blew the lot

Boom Boom Boom Boom

We're gonna win the war

 

Till the smoke it cleared you couldn't see shit

H urrah Hurrah

Till the smoke it cleared you couldn't see shit

H urrah Hurrah

Till the smoke it cleared you couldn't see shit

But the frenchies were dead coz we blew em ta bits

Boom Boom Boom Boom

We're gonna win the war

 

Sing 2nd and 9th we'll beat the lot

Hurrah Hurrah

Sing 2nd and 9th we'll beat the lot

Hurrah Hurrah

Sing 2nd and 9th we'll beat the lot

With sabre thrust and musket shot

Boom Boom Boom Boom

We're gonna win the war

 

The 2nd and 9th's a wonderful place,

Hurrah, hurrah,

They stand on the parade square, ball and they shout,

They shout about things they know feck all about,

Boom Boom Boom Boom,
