 Hitzak 
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.''
