gallant bunch of heroes,
we've been organized ten years.
We're known about the city
as the Bowery Grenadiers.
We've had three fights with
the Houlihans
And won 10 ,000 cheers
You've prepped your neck,
you won't forget
The Bowery Grenadiers
We can lick the Brooklyn guards
If they'll only show their cards
We can run like the devil
when the ground is level
For about 400 yards
And the girls, the little dears
They're in love up to their ears
When they see the style
and smell the hair -oil
of the Bowery Grenadiers
Should the ladies be in danger
When the flames around them roar
We're the lads who
fight through fire and smoke
for a rescue safe and sure
But when we march on a Sunday
and the mulligans eat tattoo
We're good old stock with a cobble rock
and a length of gas pipe too
We can lick the Brooklyn guards
if they'll only show their cards
We can run like the devil
when the ground is level
for about 400 yards
An d the girls, the little dears,
they're in love up to their ears
When they see the style
and smell the hair oil
of the Bowery Grenadiers
With a tuss, with a tuss
for the Bowery Grenadiers
Hey!
