They are a model band of men, the only such to find,

Beyond belief fraternal love rules every heart and mind;

They live as brothers in the fort, no brawl, or words malign,

So brave, polite, magnanimous, surprisingly benign.

Oh noble hearts, oh manly souls, oh men who were born for war,

Who’re ready at your country’s call to shed your blood and gore;

Who’re ready to protect the weak, and to relieve the oppressed,

All that’s feminine would worship you, fall in your arms to rest.
