We`re foot--slog--slog--slog--sloggin` over Africa--
Foot--foot--foot--foot--sloggin` over Africa--
(Boots--boots--boots--boots--movin` up an` down again!)
There`s no discharge in the war!
Seven--six--eleven--five--nine-an`-twenty mile to-day--
Four--eleven--seventeen--thirty-two the day before--
(Boots--boots--boots--boots--movin` up an` 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!
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 an` 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 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!
