No. 2 - Entrance of Col. Kraal & Soldiers - "Good-bye, Mr. Amsterdam."
| Soldiers: | Behold the lusty burghers of the town, New Amsterdam, Amsterdam. We're as bold as any lion And as meek as any lamb, lion and lamb. But we willingly admit that we're ready now to quit, For a soldier cannot fight and live on air. While the Indian attacks we can easily relax. There's a tax we have to pay that isn't fair. While we're fighting like a lion, we're fleeced like a lamb. We're never paid a penny and the government's a sham, We now declare with emphasis, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, dam, dam, dam. |
| (with Girls): | While they're fighting like a lion, they're fleeced like a lamb. They're never paid a penny and the government's a sham, They now declare with emphasis, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, dam, dam, dam. |
