文化背景
Duke of York是约克公爵，这个头衔通常被授给英王的第二个儿子。当代的约克公爵是安德鲁王子，伊丽莎白二世女王陛下的第二个儿子。
英王的大儿子则会被封为 the Prince of Wales—— 威尔士王子(婚后称威尔士亲王)。现任亲王查尔斯王子(HRH Prince Charles)，是英国历史上最长时间的王储。
歌词
Oh, The grand old Duke of York
伟大的老约克公爵
He had ten thousand men
他有一万子民
He marched them up to the top of the hill
他让他们走到山顶
And he marched them down again
又让他们走下来
And when they were up, they were up
他们一会儿在上面
And when they were down, they were down
他们一会儿在下面
And when they were only half-way up
当他们在半山腰的时候
They were neither up nor down
他们不在上面也不在下面
这首儿歌很适合跟着节奏，一边唱，一边踏步走，还能让小朋友了解up和down的对应关系。
