You may talk o' gin and beer	A
When you're quartered safe out 'ere	A
An' you're sent to penny fights an' Aldershot it	B
But when it comes to slaughter	A
You will do your work on water	A
An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's got it	B
Now in Injia's sunny clime	C
Where I used to spend my time	C
A servin' of 'Er Majesty the Queen	D
Of all them blackfaced crew	A
The finest man I knew	A
Was our regimental bhisti Gunga Din	E
He was Din Din Din	E
You limpin' lump o' brick dust Gunga Din	E
Hi slippery hitherao	A
Water get it Panee lao	F
You squidgy nosed old idol Gunga Din	E
	-
The uniform 'e wore	A
Was nothin' much before	A
An' rather less than 'arf o' that be'ind	B
For a piece o' twisty rag	G
An' a goatskin water bag	G
Was all the field equipment 'e could find	B
When the sweatin' troop train lay	H
In a sidin' through the day	H
Where the 'eat would make your bloomin' eyebrows crawl	I
We shouted Harry By	J
Till our throats were bricky dry	J
Then we wopped 'im 'cause 'e couldn't serve us all	I
It was Din Din Din	E
You 'eathen where the mischief 'ave you been	E
You put some juldee in it	B
Or I'll marrow you this minute	B
If you don't fill up my helmet Gunga Din	E
	-
'E would dot an' carry one	K
Till the longest day was done	K
An' 'e didn't seem to know the use o' fear	A
If we charged or broke or cut	B
You could bet your bloomin' nut	B
'E'd be waitin' fifty paces right flank rear	A
With 'is mussick on 'is back	L
'E would skip with our attack	L
An' watch us till the bugles made Retire	A
An' for all 'is dirty 'ide	B
'E was white clear white inside	B
When 'e went to tend the wounded under fire	A
It was Din Din Din	E
With the bullets kickin' dust spots on the green	D
When the cartridges ran out	B
You could hear the front files shout	B
Hi ammunition mules an' Gunga Din	E
	-
I shan't forgit the night	B
When I dropped be'ind the fight	B
With a bullet where my belt plate should 'a' been	E
I was chokin' mad with thirst	B
An' the man that spied me first	B
Was our good old grinnin' gruntin' Gunga Din	E
'E lifted up my 'ead	B
An' he plugged me where I bled	B
An' 'e guv me 'arf a pint o' water green	D
It was crawlin' and it stunk	M
But of all the drinks I've drunk	M
I'm gratefullest to one from Gunga Din	E
It was Din Din Din	E
'Ere's a beggar with a bullet through 'is spleen	D
'E's chawin' up the ground	B
An' 'e's kickin' all around	B
For Gawd's sake git the water Gunga Din	E
	-
'E carried me away	H
To where a dooli lay	H
An' a bullet come an' drilled the beggar clean	D
'E put me safe inside	B
An' just before 'e died	B
I 'ope you liked your drink sez Gunga Din	E
So I'll meet 'im later on	N
At the place where 'e is gone	O
Where it's always double drill and no canteen	D
'E'll be squattin' on the coals	P
Givin' drink to poor damned souls	P
An' I'll get a swig in hell from Gunga Din	E
Yes Din Din Din	E
You Lazarushian leather Gunga Din	E
Though I've belted you and flayed you	A
By the livin' Gawd that made you	A
You're a better man than I am Gunga Din	E
