  3^rd verse

   

  My Friends they write me letters & wish me lots of luck

  They say I’m saving England & admire

  My bulldog pluck

  Still they always put a P.S. in that

  Worries me a lot

  And say that Maymyo isn’t marked on

  Any map they’ve got

  so my cup of woe is brimming it’s time to

  stop the tap

  When I’m planted in a Station that is off

  The blooming map

   

  Chorus

   

  In Maymyo, In Maymyo

  Where Desaulter’s bugle blow

  Never going out with a helmet on your head

  Never getting any peace until you’re safe in bed

  In Maymyo, In Maymyo

  Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

   

  For you’re out before it’s daybreak & youre

  Drilling all the Day.

  And it isn’t all for pleasure for we get such gorgeous pay

  And Old Kaiser Bill I’d puniush by bringing him

  To stay
