Field Marshal Lord Roberts of KandaharA
-
-
There's a little red faced manB
Which is BobsC
Rides the talliest 'orse 'e canB
Our BobsC
If it bucks or kicks or rearsC
'E can sit for twenty yearsC
With a smile round both 'is earsC
Can't yer BobsC
-
Then 'ere's to Bobs Bahadur little Bobs Bobs BobsC
'E's our pukka KandaharderA
Fightin' Bobs Bobs BobsC
'E's the Dook of Aggy ChelD
'E's the man that done us wellD
An' we'll follow 'im to 'ellD
Won't we BobsC
-
If a limber's slipped a traceC
'Ook on BobsC
If a marker's lost 'is placeC
Dress by BobsC
For 'e's eyes all up 'is coatE
An'a a bugle in 'is throatE
An'you will not play the goatE
Under BobsC
-
'E's a little down on drinkF
Chaplain BobsC
But it keeps us outer ClinkF
Don't it BobsC
So we will not complainG
Tho' 'e's water on the brainG
If 'e leads us straight againH
Blue light BobsC
-
If you stood 'im on 'is headI
Father BobsC
You could spill a quart ot leadI
Outer BobsC
'E's been at it thirty yearsC
An amassin' soveneersC
In the way o' slugs an' spearsC
Ain't yer BobsC
-
What 'e does not knowv o'warA
Gen'ral BobsC
You cun arst the shop next doorA
Can't they BobsC
Oh 'e's little but he's wiseC
'E's terror for' is sizeC
An' 'e does not advertizeC
Do yer BobsC
-
Now they 've made a blooimin 'LordI
Ou ter BobsC
Which was but 'is fair rewardI
Wheren't it BobsC
So ell wear a coronetI
W'here 'is 'elmet used to setI
But we know you won't forgetI
Will yer BobsC
-
Then 'ere's to Bobs Bahadur little Bobs Bobs BobsC
Pocket Wellin'ton 'an arderA
Fightin' Bobs Bobs BobsC
This ain't no bloomin' odeI
But you've 'elped the soldier's loadI
An' for benefits bestowedI
Bless yer BobsC
