"STAY-AT-HOME HEARTS ARE BEST "—NOT 'ALF
The men who stay at home at ease,
And go to bed just when they please,
Have lots o' baccy and o' beer,
And yet—I'd rather be out here!
And go to bed just when they please,
Have lots o' baccy and o' beer,
And yet—I'd rather be out here!
The chaps who stay at home and dine
Have heaps of wictuals and o' wine,
With walnuts—shelled—and all good cheer—
It's better to be shelled out here!
(Swish—bang!)

The men who stay at home at ease
Need never try to wash their knees.
In dixie[1] lids—yet never fear,
I'd rather far be dirty here!
