“And Percival the Corporal too
Is prowling round & looking blue
He says ‘Show me the blighter who
Is going to close the Front’.” |
|
|
Jimmy sits and sighs all day,
His smile has faded right away,
If you ask why? he’ll mournfully say,
“They are going to close the Front.”
|
“Our gay Lothario-like Jenn,
Has lost his cool complacent grin,
In his anguish he is murmurin’,
They are going to close the Front”
|
|
|
Jimmy Pollock and Harry Hind,
Their tears are mingled, their grief combined
Bemoaning the loss of their “Fareham” finds
Because they’ve closed the Front
|
|
|
Adam in his canny way
Thinks lots, but has not much to say,
But to be alone for an hour, he’ll pray,
With the man who closed the Front.
|
Young Wilkie here was getting fat,
How he moans upon the mat,
And declares his hair won’t lie down flat
The day they close the Front
|
|
|
Young Johnston our highland laddie bright
Declares that he will come in tight,
And hopes fo a “Braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht,
The night they close the Front.
