Before we reached the Alexander Base

The ding dong we did surely raise
In the bar of the ship, had great sport

As the boat she sailed out of the port

Enquiring for a vacant bed

By a decent looking woman

Saying 'Lads ate up if you can. '

Your man stood there till his mates came back

Banjoed a couple of them as well
