You've heard about the lads in red, Her Majesty's soldier sons Who've conquored every foe And bits of things, what ho Well, out of all the regiments I reckon we're the ones For prestige and gore We've played a part on many a battle-field, We've often lain concealed With chivvies soled and heeled And we've been slapped and scrapped, and orange-peeled The Bunk-a-doodle Corps. Chorus: When the Colonel gives the word to go And the guns begin to roar And the pigs begin to snore And the slaveys bolt the door Then it's eyes front, heel and toe, and off we go to war Chests out, slops about, Say to the mob, 'Look out for your fob Mind you don't get robbed by the Bunk-a doodle Corps.' They made a lot of fuss about the charge in the cold Crimea But that was tommy rot Compared with Aldershot You ought to see us charging on a Suday to get some beer Around the canteen door And, as for fighting - oh well, save the Queen You ought to see the lot Of noses we have got You'll find the best thick ears you've ever seen In the Bunk-a-doodle Corps. Chorus: We all uphold the Union - The Union is the thing Because in early months We lived inside it once We've struck for home and freedom, and should ever war begin We'll 'strike for home once' more We had to swear that we'd be gallant lads We've sworn a lot since then We're ready to swear again Our prayers and swears would sink an ironclad We're the Bunk-a-doodle Corps. |
