Guns Blaze whistles blow
Come on lads off we go.
All's well.. Up and over,
I've booked me ticked back to Dover.
Come on Tommy come on Jack
Forward now no looking back.
Hold on boys this ain't the plot
Didn't know e'd all get shot.
Lift up my eyes who's that I see
Hanging there on that tree?
No more stories no more sin
Tommy,Jack come on in.
Come on in now don't be soppy.
Come on in now.... Here's your Poppy.
