She's done her bit, and so have I

Who dig in my potato patch.

And later, when the War is won

And each man murmurs, "Well, that's that,"

And reckons up what he has done

To put the Germans on the mat,

I'll say, "It took ten myriad guns

And fighting vessels by the batch;

But we too served, we ancient ones,

Who dug in our potato patch."
