Company of Cowards

As I went walkin' down the road
 'Twas on one summer's day
 What do you suppose I chanced to see, goin' the other way?
 Well, I knew it weren't the Navy, nor the whole McDougal clan
 'Twas a company of cowards, I could tell by the way they ran
 Oh, get around, oh, get around, get around
 Oh, get around, get away
 'Tis a company of cowards
 And they've come to save the day
 Ah, you should've seen their uniforms
 Shabby as you please
 Mighty shy of buttons, rather baggy at the knees
 And such was their appearance, we laughed until we cried
 'Tis a pity, Mr. Lincoln, they're not on the other side
 Oh, get around, oh, get around, get around
 Oh, get around, get away
 'Tis a company of cowards
 And they come to save the day
 I don't recall I ever heard that bugle sound retreat
 I could only hear the thunder of a hundred scamperin' feet
 It was forward into battle, they came marching, one by one
 But I guess they thought it over, and they thought it best to run
 Oh, get around, oh, get around, get around
 Oh, get around, get away
 'Tis a company of cowards
 And they've come to save the day
 All men who bear the saber share the scandal of that day
 Napoleon would have died of shame to see them run away
 Remember George at Valley Forge made the British boys behave?
 You can well imagine, now, he's rolling over in his grave
 Oh, get around, oh, get around, get around
 Oh, get around, get away
 'Tis a company of cowards
 And they come to save the day
 Yeah, oh, get around, oh, get around, get around
 Oh, get around, get away
 'Tis a company of cowards
 And they came to save the day
