'Twas Driver Smith of Battery A was anxious to see a fight; / He thought of the Transvaal all the day, he thought of it all the night -- / 'Well, if the battery's left behind, I'll go to the war,' says he, / 'I'll go a-driving an ambulance in the ranks of the A.M.C.
'I'm fairly sick of these here parades, it's want of a change that kills / A-charging the Randwick Rifle Range and aiming at Surry Hills. / And I think if I go with the ambulance I'm certain to find a show, / For they have to send the Medical men wherever the troops can go.
