While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying?
It never was worth while, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.

— George Henry Powell Song Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag (1915)

Song Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag (1915)

What's the use of worrying?
It never was worth while,
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
