Hear those marching feet
down our village street,
It's the Home Guard going on parade,
Ev'ry British son, shouldering a gun,
Out to show the stuff from which they're made.
We're all set to win...
And I'll tell you all about the mob that I am in.

 

When the lads of the village get cracking
And the whole platoon turns out
Off we go
Rain or snow
Just like proper soldiers, all in a row.
At a pub on the right
We stayed there all night
And the boys all smiled at me
I brought my pyjamas, now don't say a word
I used to be a Boy Scout so I came prepared
When the lads of the village get cracking
Down the road to Victory
When the lads of the village get cracking
And the whole platoon turns out
Off we go
Rain or snow
Just like proper soldiers, all in a row.
A poacher for fun went bang with his gun
At a rabbit near a tree
In diving for cover a rabbit is fast 
But when we heard the gun go off the rabbit was last
When the lads of the village get cracking
Down the road to Victory
