It takes a lot to make a world, all classes and all kinds, / But where the flag is flying now, a fellow always finds / A figure that's familiar, and a work that's ever new, / A little Army bonnet and a uniform of blue.
We've toughed it in the Yukon, and we've surveyed o'er the plain, / And been where easy comfort is a thing you'd seek in vain, / But ever where the hardest was, we'd see the worker true, / A little Army bonnet and a uniform of blue.
