Lyr Req: Barracks Latrine

Can anyone supply the lyrics to a song (tune is Begin the Beguine) beginning: "My job is to clean the barracks latrine..." The only other line I can remember is "We make maps for the chaps who take craps all over the ceiling". Thanks

The song is mentioned HERE. The writer says, "I particularly remember one song they sang to the melody of 'Begin The Beguine' but their lyrics stated 'When we Begin to Clean the Latrine'."

Looks like maybe Mel Brooks came up with it, look for 'latrine' on this page.
