(Soudan Expeditionary Force)
We've fought with many men acrost the seas, / An' some of 'em was brave an' some was not: / The Paythan an' the Zulu an' Burmese; / But the Fuzzy was the finest o' the lot. / We never got a ha'porth's change of 'im: / 'E squatted in the scrub an' 'ocked our 'orses, / 'E cut our sentries up at Sua_kim_, / An' 'e played the cat an' banjo with our forces. / So 'ere's _to_ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan; / You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man; / We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed / We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.
