1 ROom boys, room, room boys, room; For form Ireland we com: We have mawl'd the Original Tories; We have baffled the League Between Monsieur and Teague, And eclips'd the Grand Lewis his Glories. 2 They all fly in the Field, Their best Garrisons yield, They stand trembling, while we take their Passes. Our brave King at our Head, We fear no Steel, nor Lead, But laugh at their Beads and their Masses. 3 If some Bloud we have spilt. To compound for the Guilt, In Love's Camp we will do double Duty; Mankind we will repair, With the Leave of the Fair, And pay our Arrears to true Beauty. 4 Our worst Noise in the Pit, Shall pass all for good Wit, While the City and the Bumkins adore us. We will pay the Rogues well, Their Wives Bellies shall swell, And the Cuckolds at random shall score us.
5 The next Summer for France. We will boldly advance, Our Noble Redeemer shall lead us: We will break the Slaves Chains, And drink off their Champains, To the Health of that Heroe that freed us. 6 He hates Lewis-le-Grand, Like a true English Man, And ne'er will consent to a Treaty, Till each Neighbouring Crown Have what's justly their own, And the French strike Sail when they meet ye 7 Since Elizabeth's Reign, No Protestant Queen, We have had, but the present, God bless he[r.] Since our Edward the Fourth, No brave Prince of such worth, But William, his Valiant Successor 8 With a Queen so devout, And a People so stout; A Parliament that will supply 'em. A Cause that is Right, And a King that will fight, Our Enemies all we defie 'em.
