      AmWhen (x02210@1)I was young I used to be
     GAs (320003@1)fine a man as ever you'd see
           AmTill (x02210@1)the Prince of Wales he said to me:
                    G (320003@1)     Am"Come (x02210@1)and join the British army"
 
Chorus
  AmToora (x02210@1)loora loora loo,
                GThey're (320003@1)looking for monkeys up at the zoo
               AmAnd (x02210@1)says I: "If I had a face like you,
              G (320003@1)      AmI'd (x02210@1)join the British army"
 
Oh Sarah Conlon baked a cake,
And so for poor  O'Slattery's sake
Sure I threw nyself into the lake,
Pretending I was barmy
 
Chorus

Toora loora loora loo,
I've made me mind up what to do,
now I'll work me ticket home to you,
And F**k 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"
 
Chorus

Toora loora loora loo,
Me curse upon the labour pool
that took me darling boy from me 
To joim 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
 
Chorus
 
Toora loora loora loo,
I've made me mind up what to do,
now I'll work me ticket home to you,
And F**k 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
 
Chorus
 
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 F**k the British army"
