"Do your bit!" how cheap and trite
seems that phrase is such a fright!
"Do your bit! that cry recall,
change it now to "Do your all!
Do your all and then do more,
Do what you're best fitted for,
Do your utmost, do and give,
you have but one life to live.
Do your finest, do your best,
don't let up and stop to rest,
don't sit back and idly say,
"I did something yesterday".
Come on! here's another hour,
give it all you have to power,
here's another day that needs
everybody's share of deeds.
"Do your bit!" of course, but then
do it time and time again,
giving, doing all should be
up to full capacity.
Now's no time to pick and choose,
we've a war we muct not lose.
Do your duty great or small,
do it well and do it all.
Do by careful patient fiving,
do by cheerful open giving,
do by serving day by day
at what ever post you may,
do by sacrificing pleasure,
do by scorning hours of leisure.
Now to God and country give
every minute that you live.
