COMPANY B
Good morning! Keep your posture straight,
With your spine just as long as mine;
Good morning! Take your exercise,
With all your bones in a line;
Skull and thorax and pelvis, too,
Keep a plumb line, that's what you do.
Good morning! Keep your posture straight,
With your spine just as long as—
Your spine just as long as—
Your spine just as long as—
Mine.
COMPANY C
Good morning! When inspection comes,
Have your tent look just as neat as mine;
Good morning! When inspection comes,
Have your handles in a line;
Hide your tooth brush and paper, too,
Or they'll mark you down—
That's what they'll do.
Good morning! When inspection comes,
Have your pockets buttoned tight as—
Your tent flaps just as right as—
Your face and hands as white as—
Mine.
INSTRUCTORS
Good morning! G. S. T. S. girls,
With your brains all in a whirl;
Good morning! When the bugle sounds
Each to her chase and twirl!
To drill and dancing and fire galore,
Swimming and posture and semaphore—
Good morning at the G. S. Camp,
Where you work upon your lean-to
Longer than you mean to,
Where they keep you on the tramp, tramp, tramp.
OFFICERS
Good morning! Did you sleep last night,
When the officers had passed your tents?
Good morning! Don't you think they might
Show a little more common sense?
They say good-night when we're fast asleep,
As into our cots they coyly peep;
Good morning! Did you sleep last night,
When the officers had passed your—
The officers had passed your—
The officers had passed your—
tents?
