173 Chins up on the Chin The Sergeant comes from Peckham And the Corporal comes from Perth We're up here on the Chin Hills Right on top of all the earth. There are coloured mountains round us And coloured jungles too If this was just a holiday—'twould be a lovely view. But the Jap is in the jungle And you can't admire the scene When you're dressed in moss and fungus And your face is painted green And you're soaked like Monday's washing In the roaring monsoon rain And the leeches and mosquitoes play at cut and come again.
