In 1870, we took a little time,
to march with Gen'ral Moltke 'cross the mighty River Rhine.
We took a little sauerkraut and went over the plan,
then we beat the bloody French at the battle of Sedan.

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't dare
Their Emper'r ol' Nappy though, he had to stay with Prussia
'cause we caught him and his men, and the battle ended there
