The K A Boys

Dr-rud dr-rud dr-rud dr-rud Kitchener's Army on the march Through Marylebone and Marble Arch, Men in motley, so to speak, Been in training about a week, Swinging easy, toe and heel, Game and gay, and keen as steel. Dr-rud dr-rud dr-rud dr-rud Norfolk jackets, city suits, Some in shoes and some in boots; Clerk and sportsman, tough and nut, Reach-me-downs and Bond-Street cut; Typical kit of every kind, To show the life they've left behind. Dr-rud dr-rud dr-rud dr-rud Marching by at an easy pace, The great adventure in every face. Raw if you like, but full of grit, Snatching the chance to do their bit. Oh, I want to cheer and I want to cry When Kitchener's Boys go marching by.
