Volume 11 of the Writings in Prose and Verse of Rudyard Kipling. According to Wikipedia: 'Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English author and poet. Born in Bombay, British India (now Mumbai), he is best known for his works The Jungle Book (1894) and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (1902), his novel, Kim (1901); his poems, including Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), If- (1910); and his many short stories, including The Man Who Would Be King (1888). He is regarded as a major 'innovator in the art of the short story'; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best works speak to a versatile and luminous narrative gift. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[2] The author Henry James said of him: 'Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known.' In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English language writer to receive the prize, and to date he remains its youngest recipient. Among other honours, he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, all of which he declined.'

"FUZZY-WUZZY", We've fought with many men acrost the seas,
SOLDIER, SOLDIER, "Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
SCREW-GUNS, Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin' cool,
CELLS, I've a head like a concertina: I've a tongue like a button-stick:
GUNGA DIN, You may talk o' gin and beer
OONTS, Wot makes the soldier's 'eart to penk, wot makes 'im to perspire?
LOOT, If you've ever stole a pheasant-egg be'ind the keeper's back,
"SNARLEYOW", This 'appened in a battle to a batt'ry of the corps,
THE WIDOW AT WINDSOR, 'Ave you 'eard o' the Widow at Windsor?
BELTS, There was a row in Silver Street that's near to Dublin Quay,
THE YOUNG BRITISH SOLDIER, When the 'arf-made recruity goes out to the East,
MANDALAY, By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' eastward to the sea,
TROOPIN', Troopin', troopin', troopin' to the sea,
THE WIDOW'S PARTY, "Where have you been this while away?"
FORD O' KABUL RIVER, Kabul town's by Kabul river,
GENTLEMEN-RANKERS, To the legion of the lost ones, to the cohort of the damned,
ROUTE MARCHIN', We're marchin' on relief over Injia's sunny plains,
SHILLIN' A DAY, My name is O'Kelly, I've heard the Revelly,
