I DON'T WANT TO BE A SOLDIER (Parody of 'I'll Make A Man Of You')
I don't want to be a soldier I don't wanna go to war I'd rather stay at home, around the streets to roam And live on the earnings of a lady typist I don't want a bayonet in my belly Don't want my buttocks shot away I'd rather stay in England In merry, merry England And bore the Captain's ruddy life away.
On Monday I touched on the ankle, Tuesday I touched her on the knee.... Wednesday I had success, She lifted up her dress, Thursday, she touched me cor blimey, Friday I had me hand upon it Saturday she gave me balls a tweak, And on Sunday after supper, I rammed the fu**er up her, And now I'm paying thirty bob a week, cor blimey
I don't want to joint the army, I don't want to go to war... I'd rather hang around Piccadilly Underground, Living off the earnings of a high-born lady, I don't want a bayonet up me arsole, I don't want me bo**ocks shot away, No! I'd rather live in England, In merrie merrie England, And fornicate me fu**ing life away, cor blimey....
