THE GRAND OLD DUKE OF YORK by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: O THE GRAND OLD DUKE OF YORK
Last Line: THEY WERE NEITHER UP NOR DOWN.

O the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half-way up,
They were neither up nor down.
