178 Are we sleepy or sick or 'arf dead for a meal?

Just think of 'ow underfed Boches must feel!

Are we badly in need of a shave an' a wash?

Consider the 'orrible state of a Boche!

So 'ere's philosophy simple and plain,

Wotever we 'ates in the bloomin' campaign,

'Tis balm to our souls, as we grumble and cuss,

To feel that the Boches are 'atin it wuss.
