Am When I was young I used to be G As fine a man as ever you'd see Am Till the Prince of Wales he said to me: G Am "Come and join the British army" Chorus Am Toora loora loora loo, G They're looking for monkeys up at the zoo Am And says I: "If I had a face like you, G Am I'd join the British army" Oh Sarah Conlon baked a cake, And so for poor O’Slattery's sake Sure I threw nyself into the lake, Pretending I was barmy Chorus Toora loora loora loo, I’ve made me mind up what to do, now I’ll work me ticket home to you, And F**k the British army Corporal Daly went away, His wife got in the family way And the only thing that she could say, Was: "Blame the British army" Chorus Toora loora loora loo, Me curse upon the labour pool that took me darling boy from me To joim the British army Corporal Kelly's a terrible drought, Just give him a couple of jars of stout And he'll beat the enemy with his mouth And save the British army Chorus Toora loora loora loo, I’ve made me mind up what to do, now I’ll work me ticket home to you, And F**k the British army Kilted soldiers wear no drawers, Won't you kindly lend them yours The rich must always help the poor To save the British army Chorus Toora loora loora loo, They're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd F**k the British army"
