55 Days At Peking |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| The year was Nineteen-Hundred |
| 'Tis worth remembering |
| The men who lived through |
| Fifty-five days at Peking |
| 'Twas called the Boxer Insurrection |
| A bloody, Oriental war |
| Against all nations |
| Of the Diplomatic Corps |
| The flags of France and Britain |
| How they fluttered in the breeze |
| The Italian and the Russian |
| And the flag of the Japanese |
| Then came the sound of bugles |
| The rolling drums of doom |
| And the streets of Peking |
| Were as empty as a tomb |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| The Empress of all China |
| Gave the signal to begin |
| Let the foreign devils |
| Be driven from Peking |
| They stormed the French Ligation |
| They attacked with shot and shell |
| And they came in blood-red blouses |
| Screaming «Sha Shou» as they fell |
| The drums have long been muffled |
| The bugles cease to ring |
| But through the ages |
| You can hear them echoing |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom |
| Fifty-five days at Peking |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom |
| Fifty-five days at Peking |
| Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom |
| Bom-bom-bom |
