Shake yuh right foot, shake you right foot
An' leh yuh left foot stand!
Shake yuh right foot, shake you right foot
An' leh yuh left foot stand!
On the morning o' de fire Lord Nelson came down
He form de soldiers in a line
An' he blow de Ice House down.
Chorus
Save John Gill, Save John Gill,
An' leh de Ice House burn,
Save John Gill, Save John Gill,
An' leh de Ice House burn,
De Ice House in pawn
For a five dollar note
For to buy a rocking-chair
An' a silk sofa coat.
Chorus
Cease firing, cease firing
Don't limber up me
Cease firing, cease firing
Don't limber up me
