The Grand Old Duke of York

The grand old duke of York
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up the hill,
He marched them down again.
And when they’re up, they’re up,
(stand up)
And when they’re down, they’re down,
(sit down)
But when they’re only half way up,
(crouch)
They’re neither up nor down.
