A freind of mine who used to fly Lancaster bombers sings the following charming little ditty when he is confronted by pomposity.

Toodle-oodle-oodle-oo
Who the fucking hell are you
I'm the father of fourty-two
Get out you dirty bastard

Any info and more lyrics gratefully received

It's one of the innumeranle variations of "Braes of Killiecrankie". See "Join the British Army" in DigiTrad

I think I have collected something similar from as a US fraternity chant. Will try digging it out.
