The British Army

When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you'd see The Prince of Wales he said to me "come join the British army" Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo they're looking for monkeys up in the zoo If I had a face like you I'd join the British army When I was young I had a twist of punching babies with me fist And I thought I would enlist and join the british army Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo they're looking for monkeys up in the zoo If I had a face like you I'd join the British army Sarah Camdon baked a cake it was all for poor old Slattery's sake I threw meself into the lake pretending I was balmy Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo they're looking for monkeys up in the zoo If I had a face like you I'd join the British army Corporal Duff's got such a drought just give him a couple of jars of stout He'll kill the enemy with his mouth and save the British Army Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo me curse is on the Labour crew They took your darling boy from you to join the British army Captain Heeley went away and his wife got in the family way And all the words that she would say was "Blame the British Army" Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I've made me mind up what to do I'll work my ticket home to you and leave the British army When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you'd see The Prince of Wales he said to me "Come and join the British army." Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I've made me mind up what to do I'll work my ticket home to you and hug the British army
