| JOIN THE BRITISH ARMY When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you'd see; 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 If I had a face like you, I would join the British army. Sarah Camdon baked a cake; it was all for poor old Slattery's sake. I threw meself into the lake, pretending I was balmy. Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, 'twas 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 brew; 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 would 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. | US ARMY When I was young I used to be, A finer man who e'er ya see, Then President Bush came up to me, Join the US Army Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo, They're lookin for monkeys up the zoo, Says I if Id have a face like you, I'd join the US Army Sarah Conner baked a cake, It's all for poor slattery's sake, She threw meself into the lake, Pretendin' I was barmy, Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo, I've made me mind with what to do, I'll work me ticket home to you, And f*ck The US Army, When I lived on to fight away, Her wife got in the family way, The only thing that she could say, Was blame the US Army, Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo, Me curse upon the labour blue, That took my darlin boy from me, To join the US Army, Sarah Palin(1) buy her way, ................... ........................

1) credo di riferiscano a Sarah Louise Heath coniugata Palin diventata governatrice dell’Alaska nel 2006 non riesco però a comprendere le parole della strofa (chi capisce quello che dicono?)
