THE WIRELESS tells and the cable tells How our boys behaved by the Dardanelles. Some thought in their hearts "Will our boys make good?" We knew them of old and we knew they would! Knew they would-- Knew they would; We were mates of old and we knew they would.
They laughed and they larked and they loved likewise, For blood is warm under Southern skies; They knew not Pharoah ('tis understood), And they got into scrapes, as we knew they would. Knew they would-- Knew they would; And they got into scrapes, as we knew they would.
