Folkaholics - The British Army Lyrics

When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you'd see;
and the Prince of Wales, he said to me: "Come and join the British army."
Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, they're looking for monkeys up in the zoo
And says one: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army"

Sarah Camdon baked a cake, it’s all for poor old Slattery's sake.
So I threw meself into the lake, pretending I was barmy.
Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, I made me mind up what to do
Now I’ll work my ticket home to you and 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 crew
They took me darling boy from me to join the British army."

Corporal Sean is terrible nought, just give him a couple of jars of stout
And he'll beat the enemy with his mouth and save the British Army.
Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, I made me mind up what to do
Now I’ll work my ticket home to you and <…> the British army.
