Subject: RE: history of English army song
There is a longer version in the digital tradition.
I DON'T WANT TO JOIN THE ARMY
I don't want to join the army I don't want to go to war. I would rather hang around Picadilly's underground A'livin off the earnings of a 'igh born lady
I don't want a bullet in me backside, I don't want me buttocks (or arsehole) shot away. I would rather stay in Lunnon, Jolly, jolly Lunnon And fornicate me bloomin' life away, Gor Blimey
Call out the Army and the Navy Call out the rank and file. Call out the brave Territorials They face danger with a smile! Call out the King's Militia They kept England free! Call out me brother Me father or me mother But for Gawd's sake don't call me.
