Principals: | With Kee-Otori at their head, The soldiers of Kachoo Will guard those bold intriguers Led by Yankee Doodle Doo. Forbidden City walls must hide Each rogue until the time Our mighty Sho-Gun shall decide A penance for the crime. |
All: | With Kee-Otori at their head, The soldiers of Kachoo Will guard those bold intriguers Led by Yankee Doodle Doo. Forbidden City walls must hide Each rogue until the time Our mighty Sho-Gun shall decide A penance for the crime. Shout the word and march away, Lock them up without delay. Naught of pity let us show To our strange and deadly foe. Shout the word and march away, Lock them up without delay. Swing in line and never hesitate, For he must lead them to their fate. Let us away, let's march away, Let us away, let's march away, Let's march away, let us march away Let us away. |
