Jack Dunn, son of a gun, over in France today, |
|
Keeps fit doing his bit up to his eyes in clay. |
|
Each night after a fight to pass the time along, |
|
He's got a little gramophone that plays this song: |
|
Take me back to dear old Blighty! |
|
Put me on the train for London town! |
|
Take me over there, |
|
Drop me ANYWHERE, |
|
Liverpool, Leeds, or Birmingham, well, I don't care! |
|
I should love to see my best girl, |
|
Cuddling up again we soon should be, |
|
WHOA!!! |
|
Tiddley iddley ighty, |
|
Hurry me home to Blighty, |
|
Blighty is the place for me! |
|
Bill Spry, started to fly, up in an aeroplane, |
|
In France, taking a chance, wish'd he was down again. |
|
Poor Bill, feeling so ill, yell'd out to Pilot Brown: |
|
"Steady a bit, yer fool! we're turning upside down!" |
|
Take me back to dear old Blighty! |
|
Put me on the train for London town! |
|
Take me over there, |
|
Drop me ANYWHERE, |
|
Liverpool, Leeds, or Birmingham, well, I don't care! |
|
I should love to see my best girl, |
|
Cuddling up again we soon should be, |
|
WHOA!!! |
|
Tiddley iddley ighty, |
|
Hurry me home to Blighty, |
|
Blighty is the place for me! |
|
Jack Lee, having his tea, says to his pal MacFayne, |
|
"Look, chum, apple and plum! it's apple and plum again! |
|
Same stuff, isn't it rough? fed up with it I am! |
|
Oh! for a pot of Aunt Eliza's raspb'ry jam!" |
|
Take me back to dear old Blighty! |
|
Put me on the train for London town! |
|
Take me over there, |
|
Drop me ANYWHERE, |
|
Liverpool, Leeds, or Birmingham, well, I don't care! |
|
I should love to see my best girl, |
|
Cuddling up again we soon should be, |
|
WHOA!!! |
|
Tiddley iddley ighty, |
|
Hurry me home to Blighty, |
|
Blighty is the place for me! |
|
One day Mickey O'Shea stood in a trench somewhere, |
|
So brave, having a shave, and trying to part his hair. |
|
Mick yells, dodging the shells and lumps of dynamite: |
|
"Talk of the Crystal Palace on a Firework night!" |
|
Take me back to dear old Blighty! |
|
Put me on the train for London town! |
|
Take me over there, |
|
Drop me ANYWHERE, |
|
Liverpool, Leeds, or Birmingham, well, I don't care! |
|
I should love to see my best girl, |
|
Cuddling up again we soon should be, |
|
WHOA!!! |
|
Tiddley iddley ighty, |
