VERSE 1
DAmbling madly all over the C#town
The call to arms you likened to Da whisper
I likened to a C#radio.
DYou were a brickbat, a bowery C#tough,
So rough they culled you from a Dcartoon.
Pulled out of your C#pantaloons.
CHORUS
But Ayou, my brother in Abarms,
I'd rather I'd F#mlose my limbs than let you come to Eharm.
But Ayou, my bombazine Abdoll
The bullets may F#msinge your skin and the mortars may Efall.
But AI have never felt Eso much light
Than F#mtonight, huddled in the Dtrenches,
Gazing on the Abattlefield.
Our rifles Eblaze away.
We Gblaze away. Oh Oh DOh
VERSE 2
DCorporal Bradley of regimenC#t five
In proud array, standing by the Dbathing
Soldiers and the stevedorC#es.
DWe laid on the mattress and tumbled toC# sleep
Our eyes aligned, swaddled in our civDies
Cradled in our dungarC#ees.

We Gblaze away. Oh Oh DOh
