Lyrics to the actual march:
Some talk of Alexander
and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander
And such great names as these
But of all the world's great heroes
There's none that can compare
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row
To the British Grenadiers
These heroes of antiquity
Ne'er saw a cannonball
Or knew the force of powder
To slay their foes withall
But our brave boys do know it
And banish all their fears
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row
To the British Grenadiers
When e'er we are commanded
to storm the palisades
Our leaders march with fuses
And we with hand grenades
We throw them from the glacis
About the enemy's ears
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row
To the British Grenadiers
So let us fill a bumper
And drink the health of those
Who carry caps and pouches
And wear the louped clothes
May they and their commanders
Live happ'ly all their years
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row
to the British Grenadiers.

[@plymouth5714]

The march "The British Grenadiers" or the earlier version "Ye British Grenadiers" was always a 'multipurpose' march. It could be played in slow time as here as the line infantry advanced or in quick time for parades. These days we only hear the quick version at the Trooping of the Colour etc. The earlier version is much more 'flamboyant' from the time of King Charles II and was actually in the process of being replaced by the modern version during the Revolution.

Using light infantry wasn't the only thing the British learned how to do better from the Americans, some of the officers stationed there also learned how to brush their teeth.
