But We Soldier On
But we soldier on
Fought the Jap in 42
Killed the Jap till they were few
Outnumbered mostly 5 to one
Kokoda tide turned and we won!
Don’t stay down, get up again
Reefed up by your bootstraps man
Sure you will be sad and blue
Be a man its’ what you do
Life’s a ***** and then you’re down
Soldier on, don’t wear a frown
Always rise, accept your fate
Rise again, it’s not too late
Be you happy in yourself
Standing, catch the world by scruff
Don’t be like a Dingo pup
Be a man, right bloody stuff!
