Lick the topping towers of Washington and Eiffel, John Bull.
And now we would say thankee on behalf of every Yankee
Who has had your hospitality, no trifle, John Bull.

All his own, made every Yankee heart a thumper, John Bull.
It seemed to float right o'er us as we all joined in the chorus,
And drank the loving cup in Civic style, John Bull.
Well, and here's three hearty cheers for Old England's Engineers,
