British Army chords by The Battering Ram

Verse 1:
    Dm            Am
When I was young I had a twist
    C               G
For punchin' babies with me fist,
   Dm               Am
And then I thought I would enlist,
   Am               Dm
And join the British Army.

Chorus:
    Dm
Oh, too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo,
        C                   G
They're lookin' for monkeys up in the zoo,
   Dm         Am
And if I had a face like you,
   Am               Dm
I'd join the British Army.

Verse 2:

As fine a lad as ever you'd see,
       Dm                  Am
And the Prince of Wales, he says to me,
     Am               Dm
"Come join the British Army."

And the only thing that she could say
    Am                Dm
Was "Blame the British Army."

I'd join the British Army.

Kilted soldiers wear no drawers,

Maybe won't you lend them yours?

The poor should always help the poor,

God save the British Army.

Ian Paisley has the drought,
C                G

And save the British Army.

Verse 6:
     Dm              Am
We'll beat the enemy without fuss,
    C                     G
And leave their bones out in the dust,

The gallant British Army!

So if you're young and in your prime,
    C             G
And fond of every kind of crime,
 Dm            Am
I promise you a jolly good time
  Am               Dm
Inside the British Army.

Chorus:

I've made me mind up what to do,
    Dm             Am
I'll work my ticket home to you,
       Am               Dm
And I'd f*** the British Army.
