Awake! Young Men of England

• Oh! give me the strength of the Lion,
• The wisdom of Reynard the Fox
• And then I 'll hurl troops at the Germans
• And give them the hardest of knocks.
• Oh! think of the War Lord's mailed fist,
• That is striking at England today:
• And think of the lives that our soldiers
• Are fearlessly throwing away.
• Awake! Oh you young men of England,
• For if, when your Country's in need,
• You do not enlist by the thousand,
• You truly are cowards indeed.
