When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you'd see Til the Prince of Wales he said to me: "Come and join the British army" Toora loora loora loo, they're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army" Sarah Comden baked a cake, 'twas all for poor oul Slattery's sake She threw herself into the lake, pretending she was barmy Toora loora loora loo, they're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army" Corporal Daly went away, his wife got in the family way And the only thing that she could say, was: "Blame the British army" Toora loora loora loo, they're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army" Corporal Kelly's a terrible drought, just give him a couple of jars of stout And he'll beat the enemy with his mouth and save the British army Toora loora loora loo, they're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army" Kilted soldiers wear no drawers, won't you kindly lend them yours The rich must always help the poor to save the British army Toora loora loora loo, they're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army" When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you'd see Til the Prince of Wales he said to me: "Come and join the British army" Toora loora loora loo, they're looking for monkeys up at the zoo And says I: "If I had a face like you, I'd join the British army"
