Ged Fox Lyr Req: 'Huzzah for the SCA' (10) RE: Lyr Req: 'Huzzah for the SCA' 25 Oct 17


Is it a derivative of "Hurrah for the CRE" the song of the Royal Engineers?

Good morning Mr Stevens,
And Windy Notchy Knight,
Hoorah for the CRE!
We are working very hard
Down at Upnor Hard,
Hoorah for the CRE!

You make fast,
I make fast,
Make fast the dinghy,
Make fast the dinghy, Make fast the dinghy,
You make fast,
I make fast,
Make fast the dinghy,
Make fast the dinghy pontoon.

For we?re marching on to Laffan?s Plain,
to Laffan?s Plain, to Laffan?s Plain,
Yes we?re marching on to Laffan?s Plain,
Where they don?t know mud from clay.

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ooshta Ooshta
Ooshta Ooshta
Ikona malee
Picaninny scoff
Ma-ninga sabenza
Here?s another off
Oolum-da cried Matabele
Oolum-da Away we go
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
?
Hooray!
