Bring it into Action!
Spin those trails around!
There's grunts up the sharp end,
screaming out for rounds.

Set the elevation!
Traverse on for line!
Stratton's just a'loaded,
there's still a little time.

Me, I'm on the left side!
Bob, he's on the right!
Dingus yells "You Ready Subs?"
the method's "Battery Right".

When the mission's over!
"Detachments to the Rear!"
"A little slow that time Subs",
John whispers in my ear.
