Verses:

I'm with you and you're with me, And we are all together,
So we will sing together, So we will sing together.
Sing with me, I'll sing with you and so we will sing together,
As we march along.

 

We have food, the food is good, And so we will eat together.
So we will eat together, So we will eat together.
When we eat, 'twill be a treat, So let us sing together,
As we march along.

Pretoria, Pretoria,
We are marching to Pretoria,
Pretoria, Hooorah!
