THE RAW RECRUIT

Ses Corporal Madden to Private McFadden:

Be gob, ye're a bad 'un;

Now turn out your toes;

Yer belt is unhookit

Yer cap is on crookit

Ye may not be dhrunk,

But be jabers, ye look it;

Wan-two! Wan-two!

Ye monkey faced devil, I'll jolly ye through!

Wan-two! Time! Mark!

Ye march like the aigle in Cintheral Park.

Ses Corporal Madden to Private McFadden:

A saint it ud sadden

To dhrill such a mug;

Eyes front! ye baboon ye!

Chin up! ye gossoon, ye!

Ye've jaws like a goat--

Halt! ye leather lipped loon, ye!

Wan-two! Wan-two!

Ye whiskered orang-outang, I'll fix you!

Wan-two! Time! Mark!

Ye've eyes like a bat, can ye see in the dark?

Ses Corporal Madden to Private McFadden:

Yer figger wants padd'n--

Sure man, ye've no shape;

Behind ye yer shoulders

Stick out like two boulders;

Yer shins are as thin

As a pair of penholders;

Wan-two! Wan-two!

Yer belly belongs on yer back, ye Jew!

Wan-two! Time! Mark!

I'm as dry as a dog--I can't spake but I bark!
