The Brothers Four-55 Days At Peking

Theme from the film

"55 Days At Peking" (1963)

Bom-bom-bom...

The year was Nineteen-Hundred

T'is worth remembering

The men who lived through

Fifty-five days at Peking

T'was called the Boxer Insurrection

A bloody, Oriental war

Against all nations

Of the Diplomatic Corps

The flags of France and Britain

How they fluttered in the breeze

The Italian and the Russian

And the flag of the Japanese

Then came the sound of bugles

The rolling drums of fury

And the streets of Peking

Were as empty as a tomb

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

(Dimitri Tiomkin / Paul Francis Webster)

The Empress of all China

Gave the signal to begin

Let the foreign devils

Be driven from Peking

They stormed the French Ligation

They attacked with shot and shell

And they came in blood red blouses

Screaming "Sha Shou" as they fell

The drums have long been muffled

The bugles cease to ring

But through the ages

You can hear them echoing

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

Fifty-five days at Peking

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom

Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom

Fifty-five days at Peking
