Davitts Join The British Army
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"
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 join the
British army"
Sarah Comden baked a cake, 'twas all for poor oul
Slattery's sake
She threw herself into the lake, pretending she was
barmy
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 join 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"
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 join 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
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 join 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
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 join the
British army"
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"
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 join the
British army"
