COLONEL KNUT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

He's never been to war Or shown his shape in the region of the Cape His military ways I'm sure, would make Lord Kitchener smile He boasts no proud V.C. But he's a sport and a jolly good sort His form is a sight to see His voice can be heard at a mile Who's this fellow in the red and blue? All the army know him, and I'll mention it to you. Chorus: His name is Knut, Knut, Colonel Knut One of the knuts is Knut He belongs to the fourth brigade A little shady, I'm afraid He's forty, and sporty, and he's known as 'Naughty Jack' And the people say that Colonel Knut is a very hard nut to crack. He likes a drink, what what And a chat ha ha, with the girl behind the bar He's very very O.T. 'ot With each young feminine peach And when the skies are blue inside the park he's a jolly old spark It's a case of 'how-d'yer do? And a nice little tale for each How he diddled all the Zulus in a skirmish hot And a bullet hit him in a very vital spot. Chorus: He's never married yet No female smart has hit him in the heart Or pushed him into church, you bet He's a wild ould divil I'm told. Some charmer too, my lad In 'those and these 'and rocky at the knees And a wink of the eye that's glad You can't diddle this soldier bold One young widow tried to hook him when he went to Leeds He's too good an angler, tho' to get caught in the 'weeds' Chorus: |
