“Tommy” you was when it began,
But now that it is o’er
You shall be called The Service Man
’Enceforward, evermore.
Batt’ry, brigade, flank, centre, van,
Defaulter, Army-corps,
From first to last, The Service Man
’Enceforward, evermore.
From ’Allifax to ’Industan,
From York to Singapore,
’Orse, foot, an’ guns, The Service Man
’Enceforward, evermore!
