"O Corporal I'm weary
, can't ye hear me,
when do we stop for tea,
I feel I'm goin' out o' my mind
,would you like to come with me!
"Right, left, left, you clod,
here comes the awkward squad!
"Pass me a flagon out o' the wagon
,the fat old Sergeant said
.the cook says he can't read the cookery book,
so he's makin' a broth of his head!
"Right, left, left, you clod,
here comes the awkward squad!
"The Quartermaster's goin' faster,
he ain't goin' to halt,
the Colonel's a nut as we all know,
an' I think it's a Major fault!
"Right, left, left you clod,
here comes the awkward squad!"
