Haig is moving! / Three plain words are all that matter, / Mid the gossip and the chatter, / Hopes in speeches, fears in papers, / Pessimistic froth and vapours -- / Haig is moving!
Haig is moving! / We can turn from German scheming, / From humanitarian dreaming, / From assertions, contradictions, / Twisted facts and solemn fictions -- / Haig is moving!
Haig is moving! / All the weary idle phrases, / Empty blamings, empty praises, / Here's an end to their recital, / There is only one thing vital -- / Haig is moving!
Haig is moving! / He is moving, he is gaining, / And the whole hushed world is straining, / Straining, yearning, for the vision / Of the doom and the decision -- / Haig is moving!
