If noone posts the words here, I suggest you e-mail Steve Belsey at: steve@creative.softnet.co.uk

He knows a lot about the music hall and can probably give you the words. He has the chorus as follows:

THE BABY'S NAME

The baby's name is Kitchener, Carrington,
Methuen, Kekewich, White, -
Cronje, Plumer, Powell, Majuba,
Gatacre, Warren, Colenso, Kruger,
Capetown, Mafekin, French,
Kimberly, Ladysmith, 'Bobs'.
Union Jack and Fighting Mac,
Lyddite, Pretoria Blobbs.
