Let’s sweep them all away, then there’ll be none.
When there’s no more soldiers there’ll be no more strife,
We shall live a little time a peaceful sort of life,
Till the Opposition come and kick us through the door,
Then they’ll raise an army of a hundred thousand more.
10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000 soldiers more,
60,000, 70,000, 80,000, 90,000, 100,000 soldiers more!
