163 Other armies have their coffee and their lager and their wine, And I don't say nowt against them—they are fine! But the British Tommy's fancy wherever he may be Is the stuff he gets at home—a cup of tea. Maybe greasy, thick as treacle, wet and warm, or simply rank, But it's always very welcome in the trench or by the tank; He has fought all round the blessed world to keep the peoples free, And he's doing it again—on cups of tea. SALUTE THE SOLDIER Let us salute him, the man who fights our battles for us.
