You're quite right, sir. I for one
never heard the band strike up
for the benefit of some young pup
being packed off home with both legs gone.
You're quite right, sir.

They ought to write a few new marches
in five-four time and clashing keys
for chaps with shrapnel in their knees
staggering out the gate on crutches.

'A Blighty One', 'Stretcher Cases',
and 'Toodle-oo' would be good titles
for, for, for men with shrapnel in their vitals
and missing limbs and blown-off faces.
And for the blokes who've swallowed gas -

Thank you, sergeant, that's enough.
Pipe down now and save your puff
for the enemy's wind, percussion and brass. -
