I will be coming back to this work.
Full of the wont of adventure , most , well ninety percent cock virgins
The remaining ten percent bloody liars , remainders of questionable morals!
None really had much idea , of what it would be like , sex that is!
Even less of war and all , punch up , on a Statuary night out , some had
Ever known , but war , na , that was something dun by professionals
Something your read about in the papers , and in books by Kipling , and his like
A peck on the check , a bit of fumbling if any had been that lucky , by a girl at the
Back of Kings while a Charley Chaplin film flickered on the screen
We flock to the recruiting offices , like the sheep were then
Jokes were made , piss taken out of each other , we all kind of thought
The girls would throw them self's at us! As we were fighting MEN after all
Dressed in uniforms , carrying rifles and all!
Those of us that went off to war , and came back , changed our minds
No more '' boy's '' , but made men , in ways , that none should never become men!

AS '' BOYS ''WE WENT OFF TO WAR
We were , '' boys '' , naive , innocent of the ways of the worldFull of the wont of adventure , most , well ninety percent cock virgins
The remaining ten percent bloody liars , remainders of questionable morals!
None really had much idea , of what it would be like , sex that is!
Even less of war and all , punch up , on a Statuary night out , some had
Ever known , but war , na , that was something dun by professionals
Something your read about in the papers , and in books by Kipling , and his like
A peck on the check , a bit of fumbling if any had been that lucky , by a girl at the
Back of Kings while a Charley Chaplin film flickered on the screen
We flock to the recruiting offices , like the sheep were then
Jokes were made , piss taken out of each other , we all kind of thought
The girls would throw them self's at us! As we were fighting MEN after all
Dressed in uniforms , carrying rifles and all!
Those of us that went off to war , and came back , changed our minds
No more '' boy's '' , but made men , in ways , that none should never become men!
