LOUY NAP is trying,
'Way down in Mexico,
To build another empire up,
But Uncle Sam says, "No!"
Napoleon he may try it,
And show his lack of sense,
But soon he will be gobbled up
By his Oyster-eating Prince.
Chorus.
Rip rap, flip flap,
Jump right up and break your back I
For I'm going down to Mexico,
To fight for Uucle Sam-u-e-L
We'll let you alone for a little while,
For your race is nearly run ;
But you can't give thrones in Mexico
No, nary time, not one 1
So take advice, friend Louy,
Keep away from Mexico ;
For the doctrine that we'll carry out
"Was taught us by James Monroe.
Rip rap, flip flap, etc.
The Russian Czar sent a fleet
Out here to Yankee-land,
And nobly we have welcomed them
"With open heart and hand.
A firm alliance is our plan
We'd make a bully pair,
With the Yankee-doodle Eagle
And the rugged Russian Bear !
Rip rap, flip flap, etc.
