AN EXCELLENT NEW SONG	A
	-
To the Tune of I tell thee Dick where I have been	B
	-
	-
Ye Commons and Peers	C
Pray lend me your ears	C
I'll sing you a song if I can	D
How Lewis le Grand	E
Was put to a stand	E
By the arms of our gracious Queen Anne	D
	-
How his army so great	F
Had a total defeat	G
And close by the river Dender	H
Where his grandchildren twain	I
For fear of being slain	I
Gallop'd off with the Popish Pretender	H
	-
To a steeple on high	J
The battle to spy	J
Up mounted these clever young men	K
But when from the spire	H
They saw so much fire	H
Most cleverly came down again	K
	-
Then on horseback they got	L
All on the same spot	L
By advice of their cousin Vendosme	M
O Lord cried out he	N
Unto young Burgundy	N
Would your brother and you were at home	M
	-
While this he did say	O
Without more delay	O
Away the young gentry fled	P
Whose heels for that work	Q
Were much lighter than cork	R
Though their hearts were as heavy as lead	P
	-
Not so did behave	S
Young Hanover brave	S
In this bloody field I assure ye	N
When his war horse was shot	L
He valued it not	L
But fought it on foot like a fury	N
	-
Full firmly he stood	T
As became his high blood	U
Which runs in his veins so blue	V
For this gallant young man	D
Being a kin to QUEEN ANNE	D
Did as were she a man she would do	V
	-
What a racket was here	H
I think 'twas last year	H
For a little misfortune in Spain	I
For by letting 'em win	B
We have drawn the puts in	B
To lose all they're worth this campaign	I
	-
Though Bruges and Ghent	W
To Monsieur we lent	W
With interest they shall repay 'em	M
While Paris may sing	X
With her sorrowful king	X
Nunc dimittis instead of Te Deum	M
	-
From this dream of success	Y
They'll awaken we guess	Y
At the sound of great Marlborough's drums	Z
They may think if they will	A2
Of Ahnanza still	A2
But 'tis Blenheim wherever he comes	Z
	-
O Lewis perplex'd	B2
What general next	B2
Thou hast hitherto changed in vain	I
He has beat 'em all round	C2
If no new one's found	C2
He shall beat 'em over again	K
	-
We'll let Tallard out	D2
If he'll take t'other bout	D2
And much he's improved let me tell ye	N
With Nottingham ale	E2
At every meal	F2
And good beef and pudding in belly	N
	-
But as losers at play	O
Their dice throw away	O
While the winners do still win on	G2
Let who will command	E
Thou hadst better disband	E
For old Bully thy doctors are gone	H2
