Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Officers' wives get puddings and pies
There seem to have been words put to most bugle calls to remember what they were for.
We used to end wolf cub meetings with "Taps", memorised as:
"Day's done,
Gone the sun,
From the seas, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest.
God is nigh"

And reveille was:
"Wakey wakey, rise and shakey,
Wakey wakey, get out of bed.
Get up you sleepy-heads,
Get out of bed."
