Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I was young I had a twist of punching babies with me fist
\nAnd I thought I would enlist and join the british army.<\/p>\n

Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, they’re looking for monkeys up in the zoo
\nIf I had a face like you, I would join the British army.<\/p>\n

When I was young I used to be as fine a man as ever you’d see;
\nThe Prince of Wales, he said to me, “Come and join the British army.” <\/p>\n

Sarah Camdon baked a cake; it was all for poor old Slattery’s sake.
\nI threw meself into the lake, pretending I was balmy.<\/p>\n

Corporal Duff’s got such a drought, just give him a couple of jars of stout;
\nHe’ll kill the enemy with his mouth and save the British Army.
\nToo ra loo ra loo ra loo, Me curse is on the Labour crew;
\nThey took your darling boy from you to join the British army.<\/p>\n

Captain Heeley went away and his wife got in the family way,
\nAnd all the words that she would say was “Blame the British Army.”
\nToo ra loo ra loo ra loo, I’ve made me mind up what to do
\nI’ll work my ticket home to you and leave the British army.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
