'Twixt Love And Duty 1917 'Her Regiment'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Sep 2004

When you're talking of romance
not a regiment in France
has the slightest sort of chance
with our own; It is known
that a maid of us bewares
if to keep her heart she cares
for she knows, we suppose,
we are famed for our affairs.
Oh! there are times we must insist
when a maiden should be kissed
and it's seldom they resist
for they say we've a way
that removes each last regret
for we love them all but yet
we confess each caress
it is easy to forget

Our Regiment, magnificent
must answer first to duty
though love may call
we never fall but one and all
we turn away from siren's beauty
and we're found at bugle's sound
each man a gallant soldier
without dissent
prepared for action we present for duty
Our Regiment.

Our Regiment, magnificent
must answer first to duty
though love may call
we never fall but one and all
we turn away from siren's beauty
and we're found at bugle's sound
each man a gallant soldier
without dissent
prepared for action we present for duty
Our Regiment.
