WITH A ONE, TWO, THREE.
Don't hit out from the shoulder, unless you're struck the first;
But, Jack, if they will have it, then be sure they get the worst;
Don't go in for a skrimmage, but if it needs must be,
Why, dash it, then into them with a smashing one, two, three.
But, Jack, if they will have it, then be sure they get the worst;
Don't go in for a skrimmage, but if it needs must be,
Why, dash it, then into them with a smashing one, two, three.
Never go about to quarrel; with those I don't agree,
Who always must be in a row when ashore they're on the spree;
But if they insult my lass; if they'd make a fool of me,
Why dash it, Jack, I at 'em with a settling one, two, three.
Who always must be in a row when ashore they're on the spree;
But if they insult my lass; if they'd make a fool of me,
Why dash it, Jack, I at 'em with a settling one, two, three.

And so it's with Old England; I say, she's wise and right,
Unless she's forced in to it, not to go in for a fight;
But, if she's wronged or bullied, Jack, and fighting it must be,
Why, dash it! let her smash them with her old one, two, and three.
Unless she's forced in to it, not to go in for a fight;
But, if she's wronged or bullied, Jack, and fighting it must be,
Why, dash it! let her smash them with her old one, two, and three.
