The only site where I can find mention of this song is at an excellent
expose' of the Boer War movie, *Breaker Morant*.

This site only gives us three lines of the song...

and when we say we've always won
and when they ask us how it's done
we'll proudly point to every one of England's soldiers of the Queen.

There is a Gilbert and Sullivan song by the same name and it's full lyrics
are here:

However, that clearly is not the same song.
Nothing else is clicking, save for an Irish parody of the G&S song.
