Robert W Service - My Bay`nitRobert W Service - My Bay`nit
Work rating: Low


When first I left Blighty they gave me a bay`nit     And told me it `ad to be smothered wiv gore; But blimey! I `aven`t been able to stain it,     So far as I`ve gone wiv the vintage of war. For ain`t it a fraud! when a Boche and yours truly     Gits into a mix in the grit and the grime, `E jerks up `is `ands wiv a yell and `e`s duly     Part of me outfit every time. Left, right, Hans and Fritz! Goose step, keep up yer mits! Oh my, Ain`t it a shyme! Part of me outfit every time. At toasting a biscuit me bay`nit`s a dandy;     I`ve used it to open a bully beef can; For pokin` the fire it comes in werry `andy;     For any old thing but for stickin` a man. `Ow often I`ve said: "`Ere, I`m goin` to press you     Into a `Un till you`re seasoned for prime," And fiercely I rushes to do it, but bless you!     Part of me outfit every time. Lor, yus; don`t they look glad? Right O! `Owl Kamerad! Oh my, always the syme! Part of me outfit every time. I`m `untin` for someone to christen me bay`nit,     Some nice juicy Chewton wot`s fightin` in France; I`m fairly down-`earted `ow can yer explain it?     I keeps gettin` prisoners every chance. As soon as they sees me they ups and surrenders,     Extended like monkeys wot`s tryin` to climb; And I uses me bay`nit to slit their suspenders     Part of me outfit every time. Four `Uns; lor, wot a bag! `Ere, Fritz, sample a fag! Oh my, ain`t it a gyme! Part of me outfit every time.
