SALVATION ARMY

SALVATION ARMY! Taking your time from the clock on the church
tower opposite —

CHORUS:

To the citadel - QUICK - MARCH!
Come and join us! Come and join us!
Come and join our happy throng!

Sister Anna — You'll carry the banner!

"But I carried it last time."

Well, you'll carry it this time, and don't bloody argue!

Sister Cox - YOU'LL carry the box!

"But I carried it last night."

Well you'll carry it tonight, tomorrow night, and every other bloody night!

Sister Tucker - YOU'LL carry the other blighter!
"But I'm in the family way!"
You're in every bastard's way !

Sister Nellie - You've got a hole in your belly!

"Well, so would you if you carried the banner for forty flaming years."

"I am an ex-naval officer. I used to stand on street corners, and associate
with the wrong kind of women. But now I have seen the LIGHT: I have
reformed! I feel so happy I could put my foot right through that
BLOODY DRUM!


1979. The Fleet Air Arm Song Book. Mark II. p.176
