The Ptes Lament

Now Im going to tell a little tale
About this army Grand
Where the bread and Bully always
Stale
And the cheese it beats the band
Its fixed by cooks who know
The Game
From ABC to Z
The Privates always get the
Same
The good dope for the heads
For the Capt he gets Poultry
The Major he gets duck
The Colonel gets a little wine
With a little bit of luck
The Batman gets the leavings
The Cooks a little ham
While all the poor old Private gets is bread
And [dash] jam
