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 if ever 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,
That was the only thing that I could do
To work my ticket home to you
And leave 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 could 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.
