OVER THE TOP LADS

 

Over the top lads

Let’s do it for the King

Up and at em Tommies

Let’s do the Kaiser in

 

Heads up lads

Let’s show some heroism

Death to the Hun

Hurrah for Jingoism

 

Over the top we go

Putting aside our fears

Then the hail of shot

And we fall like tears

 

A generation’s youth

Drowning in the mud

Ghosts of our future

Drowning in our blood

 

Stout hearted we came

Beneath the Belgian sky

We came to fight for honour

Instead we fall and die
