In the year OF seventeen sixty.ntne,
Was born our proud great Emperor,
And with proudest did combine.
-Four hundred thousand best Frenchmen
To Moscow they did go.
And but Tor that terri DC cline
All Europe would subdue.
Remember, to, Of AusteTli'z.
And Marango and the rest,
The Alps and all could not stop US
Although they did their best.
We are fighting now . Saxon king,
We will till DAY Of doom,
Wen put him down with sons OF France
And those we've got in Rome.
We will bring his Prussian eagle down
BelO " hose ones Of France,
We will whip him well. By G9d above,
With sa6er, gun and lance.
We will show. too, brave boys, with blood,
How Frenohmen know to light
We will teach him, too, before Its long
To know what's wrong from right.
We will show the world besides, brave boys
That liberty Is ours,
