Who's for the trench-
Are you, my laddie
Who'll French-
Will you, my laddie
Who's fretting to begin,
Who's going out to win
And who wants to save skin-
Do you, my laddie
Who's for the khaki suit-
Are you, my laddie
Who longs to charge and shoot-
Do you, my laddie
Who's keen on getting fit,
means to show his grit,
And who'd rather wait bit-
Would you, my laddie
Who'll earn the Empire's thanks-
Will you, my laddie
Who'll swell the victor's ranks-
you, my laddie
When that procession comes,
Banners and drums-
Who'll stand and bite his thumbs-
Will you, laddie
