At the expense of bringing up a sensetive subject. During the late 70's early 80's there was a song popular with Irish bar bands,( Irish music, U.S. bars). It went something like. Too ra loo ra loo ra loo I look at the monkeys at the zoo If I had a face like you I'd join the British army Can any one help me find words or music or recording

In the Dt under the title JOIN THE BRITISH ARMY

But it's not a recruiting song!
Toora lora lora loo
They're looking for monkeys in the zoo
If I had a face like you
I'd join the British Army
One recording would be the Dubliners and maybe the song is in their songbook.
