Because he isn't built that way
Beneath his brown skin there's food

Whooping he goes with merry cIcc
To add to John Bulls misery.

Old Mul keeps matters moving on
Forth from the bush he pops his heal
And, 10, hundred troops dead,
He rushes DER the desert sands
With whiskers loose and bloody hands.
They charge and drive him back and then
lie breaks out somewhere else again.

But Muliahs heart is gay
Upon his fiery steed he flies
Hither and Eon meath Afric skies
He battles here and battles there
Ana then cuts loose some other where
