a conscientious objector - alfred lester lyrics
perhaps you wonder what i am
i will explain to you
my conscience is the only thing
that helps to pull me through
objection is a thing that i
have studied thoroughly
i don’t object to fighting huns
but should hate them fighting me
non*combatant battalions
are fairly in my line
but the sergeant always hates me
and he calls me “baby [?]”
but oh, i got so cross with him
i rose to the attack
and when he called me “ethel”
i just called him “beatrice” back!
send out the army and the navy
send out the rank and file
send out the brave old territorials
they’ll face the danger with a smile
send out the boys of the old brigade
who made old england free
send out me brother, his sister and his mother
but for gawd’s sake don’t send me
we have a nasty officer
he is a horrid brute
last friday he was terse with me
’cos i did not salute
but i cut him twice today
then he asked the reason please?
i said, “i thought, dear captain
that you still were cross with me.”
send out the army and the navy
send out the rank and file
send out the brave old territorials
they’ll face the danger with a smile
send out the boys of the old brigade
who made old england free
send out the bankers and the bloomin’ profit*makers
but for gawd’s sake don’t send me.
