A WW1 British soldiers - A Tomy's lament.
I don't like the sodden army!
The army don't sodden well like me!
Sargent major , shouts at me!
Swears at me , he's uses such bad words!
Makes me blush , so he do's mother mine!
Me mum and dad , wed before I wos born!
So I'm proper legit , right side of the blanket!
( just! )
The Sargent he puts me on spud bashing all the time
Digging the latrines , when he aint got me peeling them spuds
I wona be 'ome! Down the pub , The Red Lion , knocking back points of wallop!
Half a mo , NOW THAT'S HOW I GOT 'EAR!
Now I stand 'ear in this hell 'ole of a trench somewhear France"!
How I wona be 'ome!

I WONA BE 'OME!
Oh why did I volunteer for the army?I don't like the sodden army!
The army don't sodden well like me!
Sargent major , shouts at me!
Swears at me , he's uses such bad words!
Makes me blush , so he do's mother mine!
Me mum and dad , wed before I wos born!
So I'm proper legit , right side of the blanket!
( just! )
The Sargent he puts me on spud bashing all the time
Digging the latrines , when he aint got me peeling them spuds
I wona be 'ome! Down the pub , The Red Lion , knocking back points of wallop!
Half a mo , NOW THAT'S HOW I GOT 'EAR!
Now I stand 'ear in this hell 'ole of a trench somewhear France"!
How I wona be 'ome!
