A Land Fight + 

Great Dewey, mightiest of men, + 

To sink or take a ship, + 

Shows the white flag and feather when + 

He hears the guns of Grip. + 

Great Grip! Great Dewey! Oh, my heart, + 

There’s less tempestuous weather + 

When they are leagues and leagues apart + 

Than when they get together. + 

The air is full of uniform⁠— + 

Gold lace with buttons blent!⁠— + 

And then a voice succeeds the storm: + 

“I’ve downed that festive gent.” + 

Long shall the tale be told by brave + 

And high-born cavaliers, + 

And old Montojo from the grave + 

Shall rise with all his ears. + 
