Warwickshire Scout Lodge No. 9648

Full oft on Guv'ment service

This rovin' foot 'ath pressed,

An' bore fraternal greetin's

To the Lodges east an' west,

Accordin' as commanded

From Kohat to Singapore,

But I wish that I might see them

In my Mother-Lodge once more!

 

 

I wish that I might see them,

My Brethren black an' brown,

With the trichies smellin' pleasant

An' the hog-darn passin' down; [Cigar-lighter.]

An' the old khansamah snorin' [Butler.]

On the bottle-khana floor, [Pantry.]

Like a Master in good standing

With my Mother-Lodge once more!

 

 

Outside -- "Sergeant!  Sir!  Salute!  Salaam!"

Inside -- "Brother", an' it doesn't do no 'arm.

We met upon the Level an' we parted on the Square,

An' I was Junior Deacon in my Mother-Lodge out there!
