Quotes edit

We don't want to fight but, by Jingo, if we do,
We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too
We've fought the Bear before and while we're Britons true
The Russians shall not have Constantinople.
- Macdermott's War Song (1878), quoted by Richard Anthony Baker, British Music Hall: An Illustrated History (2014), p. 22.
