What d'ye think of the new Spanish war

(39) What d'ye think of the new Spanish war

            What d'ye think

                Of the New

                SPANISH

                     WAR

And they're all for clipping clip, clip,clipping
and they're all for cliping the Liberty of S——D

Oh what do'ye think of the new Spanish War
Why, I think they had better not try it by far
For already the've raised our meat and our bread
And I wish all the Frenchmen a thousand years
dead

And what d'ye think of the famous Prince Hilt
I think that in Spain he'll get his blood spilt
For if ho goes there with his army of men
Its a thousand to one if he gets back again

And what d'ye think of the Old King of F——
I think he's a leading his people a prance
E or if he would wish to sit quiet on his Throne
He'd better be at Peace and let fighting alone

And what d'ye think of the bold Spaniards then
I think for their liberty they'll all fight like men
For Wellingten has taught them to fight if they
please
And they'll make the Frenah army fly over the
Pyrenees

And what d'ye think of A———r the G——t
I think be has got some deep scheme in his pate
And Europe I hope will watch him very smart
For I think he's as ambitious as the Great Bona-
parte

And what d'ye think of Napoleon's little son
I think in this war he d like to make one
I think he'll push forward only let him alone
For he like to sit upon his father's old Throne

And what d'ye think of Old England
I think at present she's quite at a ftand
For if in this war in it she muſt be
hope she'll back the cause of Liberty
