First lines
Wot a crowd of people! / Wot a sea of faces! / 'Ow the ladies' parasols are glist'nin' in the sun! / Troops in 'open order,' / Captains in their places. / Wish the day was over, and I wish the job was done!
Wot a lot of civvies! / Mus' be 'arf the city! / Like a mob on Boxing-night outside Drury Lane! / Ain't it perfect weather? / More's the blessed pity! / Wish instead of sunshine it was pourin' 'ard o' rain!
