Froggy must a warring go—

Heigh ho, so slowly!
Froggy must a warring go,
By the Emperor's orders, like it or no,
With his swingeing St.Arnaud, Bosquet, and Canrobert,

Heigh ho, so slowly!

So off he sailed to the Bosphorus blue,

Heigh ho, so growly!
So off he sailed to the Bosphorus blue,
And there found John Bull with a soldier or t wo,
With his good-natured Baglan, Lucan, and Cardigan,
Heigh ho, so scowly !

When the Booskies at Alma were forced to run—

Heigh ho, so easy !
When the Booskies at Alma were forced to run,
It was Froggy, of course, took the one captured gun,
With his swingeing St. Arnaud, Bosquet, and Canrobert,

Heigh ho, so easy !

When the beaten Booskies we failed to pursue—

Heigh ho, so foully !
When the beaten Booskies we faded to pursue,
To John Bull, of course, the delay was due,
With his easy Lord Raglan, Lucan, and Cardigan,

Heigh ho, so growlly !

When to " sap" was changed what should have been " sack"—

Heigh ho, so slowly!
When to "sap" was changed what should have been "sack,"
Of course, Froggy held left and right at.taek,
With his bouncing Pelissier, Bosquet, and Canrobert,

Heigh ho, so slowly !

When six to one did at Inkermann fight—

Heigh ho, so "boldly!
When six to one did at Inkermann fight,
It was Broggy, of course, that defended the height,
With his terrible Chasseurs, Zouaves, and Indigenes,

Heigh ho, so boldly !

When at Balaklava fled Bussia's horse—

Heigh ho, so quickly !
When at Balaklava fled Bussia's horse,
The "thin red line" was Broggy's of course,
With his blundering Lucan, Campbell, and Highlanders

Heigh ho, so quickly !

When the Allies' assault was repulsed in June—

Heigh ho, so foully !
When the Allies' attack was repulsed in June,
'Twasn't Froggy began the attack too soon,
With his Duke of Malakiioff, Bosquet, and Company,

Heigh ho, so foully!

When at last Sebastopol city was ta'en—

Heigh ho, so slowly !
When at last Sebastopol city was ta'en,
It was Broggy did all—except lose the Redan,
With his thundering D'Angely, Bosquet, and Malakhof?,

Heigh ho, so slowly !

In short, the Siege of Sebastopol—

Heigh ho, so wholly !
In short, the Siege of Sebastcrel.
Was Froggy's achievement, whoie and sole,
With his Admiral Hamelin, Bosquet, and Malakhoff,

Heigh ho, so wholly!

Of what laurels there are to win and wear—

Heigh ho, so seedy!
Of what laurels there are to win and wear,
Of coarse, Broggy claims the Lion's share,
With his Dukes and his'Marshals, Bosquet and Malakiioff,

Heigh ho, so greedy !
