I'm 'ere in a ticky ulster an' a broken billycock 'at	A
A layin' on the sergeant I don't know a gun from a bat	A

The sergeant arst no questions but 'e winked the other eye	F
'E sez to me quot 'Shun quot an' I shunted the same as in days gone by	F
For 'e saw the set o' my shoulders an' I couldn't 'elp 'oldin' straight	A
When me an' the other rookies come under the barrik gate	A

I smelt the smell o' the barricks I 'eard the bugles go	G

Next week I'll 'ave 'em fitted I'll buy me a swagger cane	J

A man that's too good to be lost you	A
A man that is 'andled an' made	A
A man that will pay what 'e cost you	A
In learnin' the others their trade parade	A
You're droppin' the pick o' the Army	E
Because you don't 'elp 'em remain	J
But drives 'em to cheat to get out o' the street	A
An' back to the Army again	C
