Drille terriers, drille
For it's work all day
For the sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
And drille terriers, drille

Drille terriers, drille

For the sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
And drille terriers, drille

Drille terriers, drille
For it's work all day
For the sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
And drille terriers, drille
And blast
And fire
