I've been wrestling with Kipling,  for really quite a while;
chased him round the Hindu Kush and up and down the Nile.
talking with the Tommies while a sharing of a fag
our general conclusion is the chap ain't quite so bad.

he's really not so bad me boys
he's really bot so bad

Of course he gets a bad rap now for his tales of Gunga Din
in this age of people falling out we're not for falling in
 no longer do we rally to the charging of the guard
the colours are for burning now which makes it him rather ba-r-d

he's really no so ba-r-d me boys
he's really not to ba-r-d
