Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CCCC DDEE| You told me in your drunken boasting mood | A |
| How once you butchered prisoners That was good | B |
| I'm sure you felt no pity while they stood | B |
| Patient and cowed and scared as prisoners should | B |
| - | |
| How did you do them in Come don't be shy | C |
| You know I love to hear how Germans die | C |
| Downstairs in dug outs 'Camerad ' they cry | C |
| Then squeal like stoats when bombs begin to fly | C |

| And you I know your record You went sick | D |
| When orders looked unwholesome then with trick | D |
| And lie you wangled home And here you are | E |
| Still talking big and boozing in a bar | E |
