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!) 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 Boots boots boots boots movin' up an' down again, An' there's no discharge in the war!
'Tain't so bad by day because o' company, But night brings long strings o' forty thousand mil- lion
