1 So now we've gained our victory, we'll follow them with speed,
For it never shall be said, my boys, that Britons they do yield.
2 We'll follow them and beat them; do all that we can do,
For the bantam cock shall never crow on the plains of Waterloo.
3 We'll send him to some island that is so far away,
And hope that they will keep him there forever and a day,
4 And not let him return again to do they did before,
But keep him in some prison strong and the wars shall soon be o'er.
5 For now unto old England we shall return again,
A health there is to drink to great George, who is our king;
6 Likewise unto Lord Wellington and all his army, too,
For, if Boney lives for a hundred years, he'll remember Waterloo.
