  1. Your King and Country Want You We've watched you playing cricket and every kind of game,At football, golf and polo you men have made your name.But now your country calls you to play your part in war.And no matter what befalls youWe shall love you all the more.So come and join the forcesAs your fathers did before. Oh, we don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go.For your King and your country both need you so.We shall want you and miss youBut with all our might and mainWe shall cheer you, thank you, bless youWhen you come home again. http://www.firstworldwar.com/audio/yourkingandcountrywantyou.htm
