THE BRITISH GRENADIERS.
» (From the Clarion.) "It is proposed to increase the Guards' battalions, and also to let them take their turn of foreign service." Some talk of Giber.dtar, Which isn't quite the cheese ; Of Cyprus, too, and Maltar, And other 'oles like these, As a pi ice to which tho Guards might gow "vV hica, if it's what I 'ears, 1 herc'il bo si jolly row-roir-row In iho British Grenadiers. Tho pets of Piccadilly, The 'eroe's of PollMul, You'd pack off willy-nilly To a 'ole c.3 'ofc as — well ! It ain't quite good er.oii^h, nohov7, And if that way you steers, You'll rp.ise a awinl row-row-row From the British Grenadiers. • It's just a bit toe thin, sor. 3ly oath upon that there ! To take us toll's from Windsor, And send us Lord know 3 where. S'or who will mash tho nursemaids, eh ? The pretty little dears ; If Wolseley goes and sends away ' The British Grenadiers ? I Then let us 'ope this notion I Is only Gai-uet's game, ; For to send ?ms o'er the ocean Would be a cruel shame : To pack hus off like linesmen — far From nurserymaids and beer— AVould csrS'iily he a nasty jar To a British Grenadier.
