JOE SOAP'S ARMY
(Chilton)

Forward Joe Soaps army
Marching without fear
With our old commander
Safely in the rear

He boasts and scapes? from morn til night
And thinks he is so brave
But the men who really did the job
Are dead and in their grave

Forward Joe Soap's
Marching without fear
With our old commander
Safely in the rear
Amen

Sung to the tune of Onward Christian Soldiers, this WWI trench song is from the original cast recording of the 1964 Musical "Oh What a Lovely War".
