PIOU-PIOU
The British Tommy Atkins to the French.
Your trousies is a funny red,
Your tunic is a funny blue,
Your cap sets curious on your 'ead—
And yet, by Gawd, your 'eart sits true,
Piou-piou!

Piou-piou!
Your menu's even worse nor mine,
Your pay a day is but a sou;
But still, you blokes have broke the line—
I'm proud to fight along o' you,
Piou-piou!

Your lingo I do not compr-ee—
A necessary word or two—
But, "deux bier's" enough for me,
And here's the best o' health to you,
Piou-piou!
