The Mounties are a hardy breed,
They solve
their crimes on horseback,
And every morn,
as they go out,
Each man picks
up his Morse-pack.
For them a dot
is always dit
And every dash
a dah,
So dah-dit-dah-dit
dit-dah dah-dit dit-dah dah-dit-dit dah-dit
Is Morse for
Canada!
Because they’re
wise and ne’er forget
How complicated
Morse is,
The e’er
