Captain Temple, D.S.O.,

With his banjo and retriever.

'Rough, I know, on poor old Flo,

But, by Jove! I couldn't leave her.'

Niger ribbon on his breast,

In his blood the Niger fever,

Captain Temple, D.S.O.,

With his banjo and retriever.

Cox of the Politicals,

With his cigarette and glasses,

Skilled in Pushtoo gutturals,

Odd job man among the Passes,
