[Page 28]
Its slush up to the eyebrows, you get it in your ears
But into it, you've got to go, without a sign of fear
And when you've had a bath of slush, you just set to and groom
And get cleaned up for next parade, or else it's orderly room
Week in, week out, from morn to night, with full pack and a rifle
Like Jack and Jill, you climb the hills, of course that's just a trifle
"slope arms" "Fix bayonets" then "Present", they fairly put you through it
And as your stagger to your hut, the Sergeant shouts, "Jump to it"!
With tunics, boots and puttees off, you quickly get the habit.
You gallop up and down the hills just like a blooming rabbit
"Heads backward bend", "Arms upward stretch" "Heels raise", then "ranks change places
And later on, they make you put your kneecaps where your face is!
