The Bowery Grenadiers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We're a gallant bunch of heroes We've been organized ten years And we're known throughout the city As the Bowery Grenadiers; [Chorus] We can lick the Brooklyn Guards If they'll only show their cards We can run like the devil If the ground is level For about four hundred yards And the girls, the little dears They're in love up to their ears When they see the style And smell thе hair ile Of the Bowery Grеnadiers [Verse 2] When the ladies are in danger And the flames about them roar We're the lads who fight through fire and smoke For a rescue quick and sure But when we march on a Saturday And the Mulligans beat tattoo We're good old stock with a cobble rock And a length of gaspipe, too [Chorus] We can lick the Brooklyn Guards If they'll only show their cards We can run like the devil If the ground is level For about four hundred yards And the girls, the little dears They're in love up to their ears When they see the style And smell the hair ile Of the Bowery Grenadiers
