Just get on the guns, and you’ll smash the Huns,
It’s the o—o—only way.

(iii) The Acquisition of Decorations
If you want a D.S.O.,
Or a small M.C. or so,
Don’t go crawling rashly out
When there’s nobody about,
In the middle of a fight
Ask a private for a light—
The correspondent’s interview
Will do the rest for you.

It’s the only, only way,
It’s the only game to play,
For there’s nothing people at home like more
Than tobacco smoke in the midst of war,
So get out your cigarette
Or a pipe is better yet,
If a general comes, he will only say,
That’s the coolest man that I’ve seen to-day,
Take his name for me for our next V.C.,”
It’s the o—o—only way.
