The A.S.C. to the war have gone
At the base at half, you will find them
Their shining spurs they have girded on
But they've left their bayonets behind them
What's the sense, cried the A.S.C., of taking to France the damned things?
Their only use, it seems to me, is to open the Tommy's jam tins
But thank the Lord for A.S.C., the pride and joy of the nation
Who bring a Pulley and jam and tea and a Macanagie ration
Here's good luck to the A.S.C., though if they never come, boys
I bet we'd get all the strawberry instead of apple and plum, boys
