The grand old Duke of York

ree

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand gaffs,

He stacked them up til they hit the news,

And he tried to shut them down


And when they were news, they were news,

And when they were gagged, they were gagged,

And when they are only halfway gagged,

They're a nightmare for the crown
