The first time I laid eyes on you, my heart skipped a beat
Your slim body, your flawless face, so perfectly complete
From that moment on, I knew you were the one for me
My faithful one and only love, my one true destiny

You brighten up my world, you make me feel so fine
Your face shining so bright, you're always on my mind
I just can't get enough, you're always by my side
Without you, I'd be lost, you're my one true guide

Oh my darling, my love, you make life worth living
You're everything to me, everything the world is giving
I'll never let you go, you're the apple of my eye
My one and only love, till the day I die

Each morning when I wake, your whisper fills my ear
Keeping me connected, you're always near and dear
When I'm feeling down, you lift me up so high
You're the sunshine that brightens up my sky

When your spark begins to fade, my heart begins to drop
I just can't bear the thought that you would ever stop
I'll pour my love and care into you, until you're shining bright
Without your guiding light, I'd be lost in the night

One day I left the house, forgetting you were there
My heart was filled with dread, I just couldn't bear
To be apart from you, my one and only true
I raced right back home, to be again with you

I swear it won't happen again, I'll never let you stray
You're too precious to me, you're with me every day
I'll keep you by my side, you'll never be alone
My faithful lifelong friend, you're my heart's true home

Yes, it's you my darling, my one and only true love
There's no other like you, no one else I dream of
Without you by my side, I'd be lost and all alone
You're the light that guides me, my faithful mobile phone.

Troopin', troopin', troopin' to the sea:
'Ere's September come again—the six-year men are free.
O leave the dead be'ind us, for they cannot come away
To where the ship's a-coalin' up that takes us 'ome to-day.
We're goin' 'ome, we're goin' 'ome,
Our ship is at the shore,
An' you must pack your 'aversack,
For we won't come back no more.
Ho, don't you grieve for me,
My lovely Mary-Ann,
For I'll marry you yit on a fourp'ny bit
As a time-expired man.

The Malabar's in 'arbour with the Jumner at 'er tail,
An' the time-expired's waitin' of 'is orders for to sail.
Ho! the weary waitin' when on Khyber 'ills we lay,
But the time-expired's waitin' of 'is orders 'ome to-day.

They'll turn us out at Portsmouth wharf in cold an' wet an' rain,
All wearin' Injian cotton kit, but we will not complain;
They'll kill us of pneumonia—for that's their little way—
But damn the chills and fever, men, we're goin' 'ome to-day!

Troopin', troopin', winter's round again!
See the new draf's pourin' in for the old campaign;
Ho, you poor recruities, but you've got to earn your pay—
What's the last from Lunnon, lads?  We're goin' there to-day.

Troopin', troopin', give another cheer—
'Ere's to English women an' a quart of English beer.
The Colonel an' the regiment an' all who've got to stay,
Gawd's mercy strike 'em gentle—Whoop! we're goin' 'ome to-day.
We're goin' 'ome, we're goin' 'ome,
Our ship is at the shore,
An' you must pack your 'aversack,
For we won't come back no more.
Ho, don't you grieve for me,
My lovely Mary-Ann,
For I'll marry you yit on a fourp'ny bit
As a time-expired man.
