Traditonally, buglers tend to memorise sets of (sometimes very odd) lyrics as an aid to remembering bugle calls, for example, from the British Army of the Great War period (and through the 20th Century):
THE ROUSE
Get out of bed, get out of bed,
You lazy bastards
Get out of bed, get out of bed,
You lazy bastards
I feel sorry for you....I do!"
or
SICK CALL
Sixty four, Ninety four,
He'll never go sick no more
The poor bugger's dead
I wondered if anyone out there had any others.If anyone can oblige, it would help if the nationality, arm of service (and, if necessary the period) were mentioned.
Thanks
