20. The Grand Old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill (lift)
And he marched them down again!
And when they're up, they're up. (lift)
And when they're down, they're down.
And when they're only half-way up, (small lift)
They're neither up nor down!
Oh he marched them to the left.
And he marched them to the right.
Then he marched them round and round
And marched them out of sight.
Grand Old Duke of York

All on top of my knee.

I bounce you to the right
I bounce you up and down (lift)
I bounce you out of sight! (tip over)
