Put it there pal, don’t put it in your pocket, put it there.
That kept me smiling.
He called my brother old man Henry.
He was my hero, he was an ANZAC.
Put it there pal, don’t put it in your pocket, put it there.
He changed his name,
He changed his age to fight.
He’s past away now,
But us to remember
Put it there pal, don’t put it in your pocket, put it there
You shall not grow weary
But your spirit shall live on,
Only now you are
More out of this world.
