come and join the british army - the dubliners lyrics
when i was young, i used to be
as fine a man as ever you’d see
’til the prince of wales, he said to me
come and join the british army
too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
they’re lookin’ for monkeys up in the zoo
and since when have i had a face like you?
i’d join the british army
sarah comden baked a cake
it’s all for poor old slattery’s sake
she threw meself into the lake
pretendin’ i was balmy
too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
i’ve made me mind up what to do
now i’ll work me ticket home to you
and -pfft- the british army
sergeant heeley went away
and his wife got in the family way
and the only words that she could say
was blame the british army
too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
me curse upon the labour blue
that took me darlin’ boy from me
to join the british army
corporal sheen’s a turn o’ the ’bout
just give him a couple o’ jars o’ stout
he’ll bake the enemy with his mouth
and save the british army
too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
i’ve made me mind up what to do
now i’ll work me ticket home to you
and -pluck- the british army
