The Grand Old Duke of York
The grand Old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
(lift baby up high)
And he marched them down again
(put baby down low)
And when you’re up, you’re up

And when you’re only halfway up
(lift baby halfway up)
You’re neither up nor down.
