Songs of the Line, 1914-1918
| "If you want to find the General, | "If you want to find the Private, |
| I know where he is, | I know where he is, |
| I know where he is, | I know where he is, |
| I know where he is! | I know where he is! |
| If you want to find the General, | If you want to find the Private, |
| I know where he is! | I know where he is! |
| He's pinning another medal on his chest! | He's hanging on the old barbed wire! |
| I saw him, I saw him, | I saw him, I saw him, |
| Pinning another medal on his chest! | Hanging on the old barbed wire! |
| (I saw him) Pinning another medal on his chest..." | (I saw him) Hanging on the old barbed wire!" |
| "Sing me to sleep where bombs explode, |
| A biscuit tin, my night commode. |
| Damp is my dugout, cold are my feet, |
| Send me some whizzbangs to put me to sleep." |
| "We are Fred Karno's army, | "And when we get to Berlin |
| No bloody good are we, | The Kaiser he will say: |
| We cannot march, | 'Hoch, Hoch, von Kluck, |
| We cannot shoot, | It's just my luck, |
| We don't like M & D!" | The bloody infantry!'" |
