"The Rudyard Kipling famous poem Entitled 'Boots' Those of us who have been never engaged in actual warfare have very little idea of some of its worst horrors. One of the most terrible being the agonized impressions made upon the minds of the infantry soldiers during the long haul marches. Soldiers have been known to go absolutely insane with the everlasting sight of marching feet all around them." We're foot- slog- slog- slog- sloggin' over Africa Foot- foot- foot- foot- sloggin' over Africa Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again There's no discharge in the war! Seven- six- eleven- five- nine and twenty miles today Four- eleven- seventeen- thirty-two the day before Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again. There's no discharge in the war! Don't- don't- don't- don't- look at what's in front of you Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again Men- men- men- men- men go mad with watching 'em An' there's no discharge in the war! Count- count- count- count- the bullets in the bandoliers! If- your- eyes- drop- they will get atop o' you! Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again There's no discharge in the war! We- can- stick- out- 'unger thirst an' weariness But- not- not- not- not the chronic sight of 'em Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again An' there's no discharge in the war! 'Taint- so- bad- by- day because o' company But night- brings- long- strings- o' forty thousand million Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again There's no discharge in the war! I- 'ave- marched- six- weeks in 'Ell and certify It- is- not- fire- devils dark or anything But boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again There's no discharge in the war! Try- try- try- try- to think of something different Oh- my- God- keep- me from going lunatic! Boots- boots- boots- boots- movin' up an' down again! There's no discharge in the war!
