[Verse 1]
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
