Heroes in New Zealand

("Marching thro' Georgia.")

CaiTy out the piano boys--put it on the deck, Let's forget We've seasick and feeling like a week ! Soon we'll be on land again working for our chance ; But it won't be m our own New Zealand. Hurrah ! Hurrah ! we're leaving, old . Ward "B." Hurrah ! Hurrah ! we're turning out of "C." And when they sse the last of us How veyy pleased they'll be ; But we'll all meet some day m New Zealand. Do you know the barber came last Sunday afternoon ? Do you know he cut the hair of nearly all the men ? Perhaps their heads are cooler now ; their strength the strength of ten ; But who would know them m New Zealand ? Hurrah ! Hurrah ! no barber, thanks, for me!

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! he takes too much you see ! For when I reach my home again across the South Sea, My friends shall know me m New Zealand. Every boy on board the ship is learning what to do, When they bring the wounded m, — and he will do it too. Lectures morning ; lectures noon— and m the evening too, And they think thr-y're heroes m New Zealand ! ■ : Hurrah ! Hurrah ! it's not all fun you soe ! Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hard work you'll all agree ; But whether scrubbing floors, or making bsds at sea, We'll all ba heroes m Now Zealand.
