Oh, ain't 'e drippin' tight!<br> 'E'll need an affidavit pretty badly by-an'-by.<br> <br>The moon was white on the barricks,<br> The road was white an' wide,<br>An' the Orderly Orf'cer took it all,<br> An' the ten-foot ditch beside.<br>An' the corporal pulled an' the sergeant pushed,<br> An' the three they danced along,<br>But I'd shut my eyes in the sentry-box,<br> So I didn't see nothin' wrong.<br> <br> Though it was "Rounds! What Rounds?" O corporal, 'old 'im up!<br> 'E's usin' 'is cap as it shouldn't be used, but, sentry, shut your eye.<br> An' it was "Pass! All's well!"
