I believe this is an old 'scouting' song which originated from the American civil war?.
Plenty of other lyric versions out there including some 'rude' ones!!
Can be transposed to any key depending on what suits your voice.
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
[Verse 1]
GThere was cheese cheese wafting on the breeze
In the sDtores in the Gstores
There was ham ham mixed up with the jam
In the DQuartermaster’s GStores
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
[Verse 2]
GThere was bread bread just like lumps of lead
In the Dstores in the Gstores
There were buns buns and bullets for the guns
In the DQuartermaster’s GStores
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
[Verse 3]
GThere were mice mice eating up the rice
In the Dstores in the Gstores
There were rats rats big as blooming cats
In the DQuartermaster’s GStores
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
[Verse 4]
GThere is meat meat meat you couldn’t eat
In the Dstores in the Gstores
There were eggs eggs nearly growing legs
In the DQuartermaster’s GStores
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
[Verse 5]
GThere is beer beer that you can’t get near
In the Dstores in the Gstores
There is rum rum for the general’s tum
In the DQuartermaster’s GStores
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
[Verse 6]
GThere was cake cake cake you couldn’t break
In the Dstores in the Gstores
There were flies flies feeding on the pies
In the DQuartermaster’s GStores
[Chorus]
My Geyes are dim I Ccannot see
I Ahave not brought my Dspecs with me
I Ghave not Cbrought my Gspecs Dwith Gme
