Classic Poem

Boney was a warrior,
Way-aye-yah!
A warrior, a terrier,
Johnny Franswor!

Boney beat the Prussians,
The Osstrians and the Rooshians.

He beat the Prussians squarely,
He whacked the English nearly.

We licked him in Trafalgar's bay,
Carried his main topm'st away,

'Twas on the plains of Waterloo,
He met the boy who put him through.

He met the Duke of Wellington,
That day his downfall had begun.

Boney went a-cruisin',
Aboard the Billy Ruffian.

Boney went to Saint Helen',
An' he never came back agen.

They sent him into exile,
He died on Saint Helena's isle.

Boney broke his heart an' died,
In Corsica he wisht he styed.

He wuz a rorty general,
A rorty, snorty general.
