We seldom were quick off the mark,

And sprinting was never our game;

But when it's insistence and hold-for-the-distance,

We've never been beat at that same.

The first lap was all to the Hun,

At the second we still saw his back;

But we knew how to wait and to spurt down the straight,

Till we left him dead-beat on the track.

He's a bluffer for all he is worth,
