23. Marching Song
B
Marching, here we come!
Willie cocks his highland bonnet,
Johnnie beats the drum.
Peter leads the rear;
Feet in time, alert and hearty,
Each a Grenadier!
Marching double-quick;
While the napkin like a banner
Waves upon the stick!
Great commander Jane!
Now that we’ve been round the village
Let’s go home again.
