Captain she has coffee

Lieutenant she has tea

Patrol Leaders have cocoa - its good for them you see.

Seconds they have lemonade or sometimes they have lime

And all thats left for the poor Girl Guides

Is water all the time

CHORUS

Thats the way thy treat the Girl Guides

Thats the way they treat the Girl Guides

Thats the way they treat the Girl Guides

With water all the time

Captain she is married

Lieutenant is engaged

Patrol leaders are courting

Although theyre under age

Seconds they are trying & sometimes they succeed

And all thats left for the poor Girl Guides

Is Scouts with knobbly knees

CHORUS

Captain she has lavender

Lieutenant she has Pears

Patrol Leaders have Wrights Coal Tar

And dont they put on airs

Seconds they have sunshine to make their faces shine

And all thats left for the poor Girl Guides?

Carbolic all the time

CHORUS

Captain - turkey

Lieutenant - duck

PLs - boiled ham and think they are in luck

Seconds - sausages & sometimes they have spam

Poor Girl Guides - mouldy bread & jam

CHORUS

Captain has an aeroplane

Lieutenant has a car

Patrol leaders have tuppenny rides

Upon a trolley car

Seconds they have pushbikes

Which take a lot to beat

And all thats left for the poor Girl Guides -

A pair of weary feet

CHORUS

Captain she does nothing

Lieutenant she does less

Patrol leaders do cooking

And dont they make a mess

Seconds they do sewing

Which isnt very much

And all thats left for the poor Girl Guides -

Mouldy washing up
