D—the fleas and D---the flies
D---the heads with all their lies
D—the place and D—the weather
D---Gallipoli altogether
D---the army and D—the track
Damn it all Im going back

There is a happy land far far away
Where you can oysters get at any old time of day
Here were other fish to fry
Learning how to do or die
Blowing Turks up to the sky
In the good old fashioned way

There is a happy land far far away
Where you get up at ten
Or sleep in all the day
Here we get up at four
To give the Turks a little more
Of what they got the day before
In just the same old way

There is a happy land far far away
Where you can get a feed
At any time of day
