Tommy Atkins
buckle on your kit,
there's a mighty wrong needs righting.
Tommy Atkins
British ev'ry bit
you're the boy
to do our fighting.
We'll let them see
whilst you're over the foam,
we've still a little soldier
in the box at home.

Bravo Territorials,
Territorials bravo!
Boys from the North,
South, East and West,
Boys who will always do their best.
Bravo Territorials
What a happy crowd you'll be,
Guarding the homes of Old England
While Jack is busy on the sea.

Tommy Atkins
right is always might,
keep your name on histry's pages,

Hold the banner tight
Guard the flag that's flown for ages.
Whilst you're defending
the colours above,
the boys at home
will safely guard
the ones you love.

Jack is on the sea
helping as you help each other.

proud you ought to be
having such a useful brother.
If sailors come while
you're both far away
the boys will entertain them
if they care to stay.

South, East and West,
Boys who will always do their best.
