On Patrol in No Man’s Land

What the time? Nine? Fall in line
Alright, boys, now take it slow
Are you ready? Steady! Very good, Eddie
Over the top, let's go
Quiet, lie it, else you'll start a riot
Keep your proper distance, follow 'long
Cover, brother, and when you see me hover
Obey my orders and you won't go wrong
There's a Minenwerfer coming
Look out! Hear that roar, there's
One more ... Stand fast
There's a Very light
Don't gasp or they'll find you all right!
Don't start to bombing with
Those hand grenades
There's a machine gun, holy spades!
Alert, gas! Put on your mask
Adjust it correctly and hurry up fast!
Drop! There's a rocket from
The Boche barrage
Down!, hug the ground, close as you can
Creep and crawl, follow me, that's all
What do you hear? Nothing near
Don't fear, all is clear
That's the life of a stroll
When you take a patrol out in No Man's Land
Ain't it grand? Out in No Man's Land
"We can't stop these men ... They
Are devils ... They smile
While they kill ... and you
Can't catch them alive"
There's a Minenwerfer
"Right boys! Go on'n'do it! Get
The bloody boys! Get
Them on the bayonet! ... Ram it on!"
What do you hear? Nothing near
Don't fear, all is clear
That's the life of a stroll
When you take a patrol out in No Man's Land
Ain't it grand? Out in No Man's Land
