[Bessie:] Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye,
Shut your little eye, dear,
Sleep and dream in comfort, baby, while you can.
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye,
Nursie is close by, dear,
Sleep and don't be frighten'd at the soldier man,
Hush-a-bye, hush-a....
[Both:] When along the street the war drums beat,
The Grenadiers are coming.
Then the music grand of the big brass band
Sets ev'ry heart to humming.
When the colours fly athwart the sky,
And the lines of bearskins loom,
All England cheers the Grenadiers,
And the big brass drum goes boom!
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, dzing!
Ta, ra, ta, ta, ta, ta,
Ta, ra, ta, ta, ta, ta,
Ta, ra-ta, ta, ra-ta, ta, Boom!
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-ta, ta, ta, Ra-ta-ta, ta, ta,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, dzing!

[Charlie:] Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye,
My nerves are all ajar, dear,
Goodness, oh, my finger! Bessie, can't he bite!
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye,
Does he want his Ma, dear,
I couldn't nurse a baby on a winter's night.
Hush-a-bye, hush-a....
[Both:] When along the street the war drums beat,
The Grenadiers are coming.
Then the music grand of the big brass band
Sets ev'ry heart to humming.
When the colours fly athwart the sky,
And the lines of bearskins loom,
All England cheers the Grenadiers,
And the big brass drum goes boom!
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, dzing!
Ta, ra, ta, ta, ta, ta,
Ta, ra, ta, ta, ta, ta,
Ta, ra-ta, ta, ra-ta, ta, Boom!
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-ta, ta, ta, Ra-ta-ta, ta, ta,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, dzing!

[Bessie:] Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye,
Dream your pretty dream, dear,
Never mind the cheering when the soldiers come,
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye,
While the rifles gleam, dear,
Sleep and don't be frighten'd at the boom, boom, boom!
Hush-a-bye, hush-a....
[Both:] When along the street the war drums beat,
The Grenadiers are coming.
Then the music grand of the big brass band
Sets ev'ry heart to humming.

And the lines of bearskins loom,
All England cheers the Grenadiers,
And the big brass drum goes boom!
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, dzing!
Ta, ra, ta, ta, ta, ta,
Ta, ra, ta, ta, ta, ta,
Ta, ra-ta, ta, ra-ta, ta, Boom!
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-ta, ta, ta, Ra-ta-ta, ta, ta,
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan, plan, plan,
Ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan, ra-ta-plan,
Ra-ta-plan, plan, plan!
