And when you're up, you're up;
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

(repeat several times, each time getting faster.)

Oh the Grand old Duke of York;
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up the hill
And then he marched them down again.

And when you're up, you're up;
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up
You're neither up nor down.

(repeat several times, each time getting faster.)
