Nowadays when day is ending
and the darkness doth appear,
when all folk are homeward wending
this is what you'll hear:

Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Goodnight, got your tin hat?
Got your food card?
Alright, alright,
good night, good night, good night!
Please don't think me rude
because I'm yawning
but I have to be up in the morning,
Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Good night!

Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Goodnight, got your tin hat?
Got your food card?
Alright, alright,
good night, good night, good night!
Please don't think me rude
because I'm yawning
but I have to be up in the morning,
Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Good night!

When you've been out to a party
and you've had a time that's gay,
in a voice that's hale and hearty
this is what to say:

Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Goodnight, got your tin hat?
Got your food card?
Alright, alright,
good night, good night, good night!
Please don't think me rude
because I'm yawning
but I have to be up in the morning,
Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Good night!

Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Goodnight, got your tin hat?
Got your food card?
Alright, alright,
good night, good night, good night!
Please don't think me rude
because I'm yawning
but I have to be up in the morning,
Goodnight, got your torchlight?
Got your gas mask?
Alright, alright
Good night, good night, good night!
Good night!
