Where 'ave you been this week or moreA
'Aven't seen you about the war'A
Thought perhaps you was at the rearA
Guarding the waggons What us No fearA
Where have we been Why bless my heartB
Where have we been since the bloomin' startB
Right in the front of the armyC
Battling day and nightD
Right in the front of the armyC
Teaching 'em how to fightD
Every separate man you seeC
Sapper gunner and C I VC
Every one of 'em seems to beC
Right in front of the armyC
Most of the troops to the camp had goneE
When we met with a cow gun toiling onF
And we said to the boys as they walked her pastG
Well thank goodness you're here at lastG
Here at last Why what d'yer meanH
Ain't we just where we've always beenI
Right in the front of the armyC
Battling day and nightD
Right in the front of the armyC
Teaching'em bow to fightD
Correspondents and Vets in forceJ
Mounted foot and dismounted horseJ
All of them were as a matter of courseJ
Right in the front of the armyC
-
Old Lord Roberts will have to mindK
If ever the enemy get behindK
For they'll smash him up with a rear attackL
Because his army has got no backL
Think of the horrors that might befallM
An army without any rear at allM
Right in the front of the armyC
Battling day and nightD
Right in the front of the armyC
Teaching 'em how to fightD
Swede attaches and German countsN
Yeomen known as De Wet's RemountsN
All of them were by their own accountsN
Right in the front of the armyC
