Thread Name: Origins: Bless 'Em All
Subject: Lyr Add: FUCK 'EM ALL (Kiwi version)
Here's the Kiwi Virgin

WWII origin - we had some Kiwi soldiers stationed in Fiji - getting grumpy, 'cos they were missing out on the real scraps. I've got the words of another song about the {NZ} Army in Fiji if anyone wants 'em...

Anyway...

The Kiwi virgin of B***/F*** 'EM ALL from WWII

1. Oh they say there's a troopship just leaving Fiji,
Bound for New Zealand's shore.
Heavily laden with time-expired men,
Bound for the land they adore.
There's many a soldier Just finishing his time,
There's many a mug signing on,
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean,
So cheer up, my lads, **** 'em all.

CHORUS: **** 'em all, - **** 'em all.
The long and the short and the tall,
**** all the sergeants and WO1's,
**** all the corporals and their ****ing sons,
For we're saying goodbye to them all,
As up the cook's backside (?) they crawl,
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean,
So cheer up my lads, **** them all.

2. Oh a mighty fine ship on the ocean she flits,
Sailing by night and by day.
When she's in motion she's the pride of the ocean,
You can't see her backside for spray.
Oh side, side Monowai's side,
The captain looks on her with pride.
He'd have a blue fit, if he saw any shit
On the side of the Monowai's side.

3. This is my story, this is my song,
We've been in Fiji too ****ing long
Roll out the Rodney, salvage the Hood
For our merchant navy is no ****ing good
lsa Lei, Isa Lei,
From Auckland to Suva's a ****ing long way.


Ummm....

You lot aren't going to believe this, but while formatting the above - our "National Wireless" Sat Nite request came up with...

Allan Breeze (?sp) and the Billy Cotton Band -
with a WWII virgin of "Quartermasters Store"

No lie....l)
