I'm 'ere in a ticky ulster an' a broken billycock 'at, / A-layin' on to the sergeant I don't know a gun from a bat; / My shirt's doin' duty for jacket, my sock's stickin' out o' my boots, / An' I'm learnin' the damned old goose-step along o' the new recruits!
Back to the Army again, sergeant, / Back to the Army again. / Don't look so 'ard, for I 'aven't no card, / I'm back to the Army again!
