Boots boots boots boots movin' up and down again

There's no discharge in the war

Seven six eleven five nine an' twenty mile today four eleven seventeen thirty two the day before

Boots boots boots boots movin' up and down again

There's no discharge in the war

Don't don't don't don't look at what's in front of you

Boots boots boots boots movin' up an' down again

Men men men men men go mad with watchin' em

An' there's no discharge in the war

Count count count count the bullets in the bandoliers

If your eyes drop they will get atop o' you

Boots boots boots boots movin' up and down again

There's no discharge in the war

We can stick out 'unger, thirst, an' weariness

But not not not not the chronic sight of 'em boot boots boots boots movin' up an' down again

An' there's no discharge in the war

'Taint so bad by day because o' company

But night brings long strings o' forty thousand million

Boots boots boots boots movin' up an' down again

There's no discharge in the war

I 'ave marched six weeks in 'ell an' certify

It is not fire devils dark or anything

But boots boots boots boots movin' up an' down again

An' there's no discharge in the war

Try try try try to think o' something different oh my god keep me from goin' lunatic

Boots boots boots boots movin' up an' down again
