It's Saturdays as does it. In the week

It's not too bad; there's cinemas and things;

But I gets up against it, so to speak,

When half-day-off comes round again and brings

The smell o' mud an' grass an' sweating men

Back to my mind—there's no denying it;

There ain't much comfort tellin' myself then,

"Thank Gawd, I went toot sweet an' did my bit!"

Oh, yes, I knows I'm lucky, more or less;

There's some pore blokes back there who played the game
