Come And Join The British Army

	  		     Am 
When I was young, I used to be 
     G 
As fine a man as ever you'd see 
           Am 
'til the Prince of Wales, he said to me 
          G               Am 
Come and join the British army 

 Am 
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo 
         G 
They're lookin' for monkeys up in the zoo 
          Am 
And since when have I had a face like you? 
     G               Am 
I'd join the British army 

 Am 
Sarah Comden baked a cake 
     G 
It's all for poor old Slattery's sake 
       Am 
She threw meself into the lake 
    G             Am 
Pretendin' I was balmy 

 Am 
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo 
      G 
I've made me mind up what to do 
         Am 
Now I'll work me ticket home to you 
     G                 Am 
And  pfft the British army 

 Am 
Sergeant Heeley went away 
         G 
And his wife got in the family way 
        Am 
And the only words that she could say 
      G                Am 
Was blame the British army 

 Am 
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo 
    G 
Me curse upon the Labour blue 
      Am 
That took me darlin' boy from me 
    G               Am 
To join the British army 

Am 
Corporal Sheen's a turn o' the 'bout 
     G 
Just give him a couple o' jars o' stout 
      Am 
He'll bake the enemy with his mouth 
    G                Am 
And save the British army 

Am 
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo 
     G 
I've made me mind up what to do 
         Am 
Now I'll work me ticket home to you 
       G               Am 
And  pluck the British army
