The drums beat, we are ordered on board -- Bright muskets and bayonets flashing in the sun -- A blundering mistake was made -- The sleep that knows no waking -- You can't fool these Yankees, they are too sharp -- Let them come! Let them come! -- We know no surrender! -- On to Mexico City -- Adventures around the capital -- The morning peace is again in our quarters -- We are coming home -- One mass of people, cheering.
