Them Belgians had the chance to shirk,

And watch, instead of do, the work;

But no! They chose a bigger thing

And blocked the bully; gave us breath

To get our coats off. Sure as death

They're Men—a King of Men for King.

Don't think they're beat with what they've got,

And begging pennies, 'cos they're not.

It's this—their job is good and done;

They're fighting-pals; they're hungry, cold;
