The Peace of Europe.

They are gathering round the island,
They're besieging little Crete;
They have tons of guns and powder
On the vessels OF each fleet:
They could blow the isle to atoms
Yes, and smile, too, as they blew it
For they'll keep the peace Of Europe
If it takes a fight to do it
They are growing at each other
Like a lot Of angry ours;
Each is jealous and suspicious
If another bulldog stirs;
Each would like to crush the others,
Yet each knows that he would
rue it
And they'll keep the peace Of Europe
II it takes fight to do it
