"sotcc, 10/02/2K2"
 
   Some talk of Alexander and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander and such great names as these
But of all the world's great heroes
There's none that can compare
With a tow row row, row row row
To the British Grenadier!

Those heroes of antiquity ne'er saw a cannonball
Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal
But our brave boys do know it
And banish all their fears
Sing tow row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers!

Whene'er we're commanded to storm the palisades
Our leaders march with fuses and we with hand grenades
We throw them from the glacis
About the enemy's ears
Sing tow row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers!

And when the siege is over, we to the town repair
The townsmen cry "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier!
Here come the Grenadiers, my boys,
Who know no doubts nor fears!"
Sing tow row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers!

Then let us fill a bumper and drink a health to those
Who carry caps and pouches and wear the louped clothes
May they and their commanders
Live happy all their years
With a tow row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers!

   >Hmm. The british war machine rolls into action.

When Britain first at Heaven's command
Arose from out the azure main
Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main
This was the charter,
The charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall:
Must in, must in, must in their turns to tyrants fall.
While thou shalt flourish,
Shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful, from each foreign stroke:
More dreadful, dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke.
As the loud blast,
The blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
All their, all their, all their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy,
Arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine:
Thy cities, cities, cities shall with commerce shine
All thine shall be the,
Shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles thine.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair:
Shall to, shall to, shall to thy happy coast repair
Blest isle! with matchless,
With matchless beauty crown'd,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves
Britons never never never shall be slaves!

--G.

   Just because the original brought back memories of my SCA days:

Some talk of Molson's Export, and some of Genesee's
Of Pabst and Schiltz and Golden, and such great beers as these.
But of all the world's great lagers, there's none that can come near
To the brown, disgusting vileness, of the Brutish Viking Beer.

(for several more verses, check out http://members.tripod.com/~bardic_circle/bvbeer.htm )

"I've been a hells angel for many a year...."
"Puff the magic dragon, lives in a tent..."
