No. 2 - Entrance of Col. Kraal & Soldiers - "Good-bye, Mr. Amsterdam."

Lyrics by Frank Pixley

[Soldiers:] Behold the lusty burghers of the town,
New Amsterdam, Amsterdam.
We're as bold as any lion
And as meek as any lamb, lion and lamb.
But we willingly admit
that we're ready now to quit,
For a soldier cannot fight and live on air.
While the Indian attacks
we can easily relax.
There's a tax we have to pay that isn't fair.
While we're fighting like a lion,
we're fleeced like a lamb.
We're never paid a penny
and the government's a sham,
We now declare with emphasis,
Goodbye, New Amsterdam,
Goodbye, New Amsterdam, dam, dam, dam.
[with Girls:] While they're fighting like a lion,
they're fleeced like a lamb.
They're never paid a penny
and the government's a sham,
They now declare with emphasis,
Goodbye, New Amsterdam,
Goodbye, New Amsterdam, dam, dam, dam.
