Back to blighty

When faced with a hinderance
The brave mountaineer
Turns and walks back into the wind
But my hesitation
In strange hemisphere
Makes me quit before I begin

Intrepid explorer
He agrees on extremes
Pursues the unknown with perfect aplone
Behaves like a trooper
Who brags and blasphemes
Tell the truth, I want to go home

Back to blighty
Back to blighty
Back to blighty
Back to blighty

The poor navigator
The siren that calls
Heeds not a warning of coming distress
Although you're a charmer
The prospect appals
Going back to my former address

Back to blighty
Back to blighty
Back to blighty
Back to blighty

(There is a green hill far away)
