With his terrible Chasseurs, Zouaves, and Indigénes,
Heigh ho, so boldly!
When at Balaklava fled Russia’s horse—
Heigh ho, so quickly!
When at Balaklava fled Russia’s horse,
The “thin red line” was Froggy’s of course,
With his blundering Lucan, Campbell, and Highlanders,
Heigh ho, so quickly!
When the Allies’ assault was repulsed in June—
Heigh ho, so foully!
