British Army Lyrics

Too-ral-oo-ral-oo-ral-oo
They're looking for monkeys up in the zoo
Says I, If I had a face like you
I'd join 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

Sarah Condon baked a cake
'Twas all for poor old Slattery's sake
She threw herself into the lake
Pretending she was barmy

Corporal Daly went away
His wife got in the family way
The only thing that she could say
Was, *** the British Army
Corporal Kerry got such a drought
Just give him a couple of jars of stout
He'll kill the enemy with his mouth
To save the British Army
Kilted soldiers were no drawers
Won't you kindly lend them yours
The rich must always help the poor
To save the British Army

Repeat 1

Final chorus:
Too-ral-oo-ral-oo-ral-oo
They're looking for monkeys up in the zoo
Says I, If I had a face like you
I'd *** the British Army
