I found this song from the Korean War that NZ troops sang. I'm told thye don't like the Aussies much. The "Noggies" were the North Korean soldiers. I think everything else is pretty straightforward. Maybe some of you can help with the tune.
There's a Mama San coming down the track
With a 25 pounder on her back,
She's moving on, she's movin' on.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
If the Noggies don't get you the Aussies must,
We're movin' on, we're movin' on.
I hear the thunder of a thousand feet,
It's the First Cavalry in full retreat
They're movin' on, they're movin' on.
'Cause there's two kinds of man that they can't stand
A North Korean and a Chinaman,
So they're movin' on, they're movin on.
