https://youtu.be/3PdmxovsV0A I've heard these two songs recently, but I can't find the full lyrics anywhere. Can anyone help me?

Your listed recording appears to be intact.

Listen and transcribe, then there will be a written record on Mudcat and you will become one of the few and the proud.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Don't be lazy. Everyone knows you are not done until you do the paperwork.

WHAT DO WE DO IN THE ARMY

What do you do in the Infantry?
You march, you march, you march
What do you do in the Infantry?
You march, you march, you march
There's many a fall in the Cavalry, but never a fallen arch
What do you do in the Infantry?
You march, you march, you march

What do you do in the Infantry?
You hike, you hike, you hike
What do you do in the Infantry?
You hike, you hike, you hike
The son of a gun in the signal corps is traveling on a bike
What do you do in the Infantry?
You hike, you hike, you hike

The hard way, the hard way
Sweat 'til you get there the hard way

What do you do in the Infantry?
You win, yo win, you win

What do you do for the victory?
You march into Berlin
The rest of the army is riding, riding
Through the triumphal arch
What do you do in the Infantry?
You march (two, three, four)
March (two three four), March

There is an old saying about the British Army, If it moves salute it, if it doesn't move paint it, and if you have never seen one before, put a guard on it.

Wikipedia says The Army Game is a British television sitcom that aired on ITV from 19 June 1957 to 20 June 1961.

Here are a couple of episodes of The Army Game:

• New Officer (click)
• The Mad Bull (1957)

But I'm not interested in transcribing "The Signature Song." Too complicated. The usual practice here is to post what you have, and then ask for help in completing the transcription. People are willing to help, as long as you first make an effort and contribute what you've done.

Side issue: the Company Sergeant Major in the TV version of The Army Game was William Hartnell, now more usually recognised as the first Doctor Who.
