'Oo's the Gen'ral 'ere? sez I; / 'Oo's the Gen'ral 'ere? / 'O, 'e's a Prince o' the Royal Blood, so you 'aven't got / nothin' to fear. ' / But 'e marched me 'ere, an' 'e marched me there, / To burn blank cartridges everywhere; / An' 'e made me sweat, an' 'e made me swear -- / Did Arthur!
Wot can the Gen'ral do? sez I; / Wot can the Gen'ral do? / 'O, 'e 's a Prince o' the Royal Blood, an' 'e don't know / much about _you_! ' / But 'e doubled me round on a big field day: / An' 'e checked me for loafin' -- a mile away! / An' I found there's a time for work an' play / With Arthur!
