| It isn't the melee we mind | F |
| That often is rather good fun | G |
| It isn't the shrapnel we find | F |
| Obtrusive when rained by the ton | G |
| It isn't the bounce of the bombs | E |
| That gives us a positive pain | H |
| It's the strafing we get | I |
| When the weather is wet | I |
| It's the RAIN | H |

| It isn't because we lack grit | J |
| We shrink from the horrors of war | K |
| We don't mind the battle a bit | J |
| In fact that is what we are for | K |
| It isn't the rum jars and things | E |
| Make us wish we were back in the fold | L |
| It's the fingers that freeze | E |
| In the boreal breeze | E |
| It's the COLD | L |
| COLD | L |
| COLD | L |

| Oh the rain the mud and the cold | L |
| The cold the mud and the rain | H |
| With weather at zero it's hard for a hero | M |
| From language that's rude to refrain | H |
| With porridgy muck to the knees | E |
| With sky that's a pouring a flood | D |
| Sure the worst of our foes | E |
| Are the pains and the woes | E |
| Of the RAIN | H |
| THE COLD | L |
| AND THE MUD | D |
