The Army song.................


There used to be this army song which my school teacher taught us long back. It was a variant of an old world war II song and there are many versions of it. If my memory serves right, it went something like this...


The pay in the army, they say its mighty fine.

They give you rupees hundred and take back ninety nine !


Chorus:

I don't want be in the army now,

Sergeant I want to go!

Where the hell you want to go?

Sergeant I want to go home


The uniform in the army, they say its might fine.

Me and my companions, can all fit in to mine !


Chorus


The shoes in the army, they say its mighty fine

When you ask for number 6, they give you number 9 !


Chorus


The tea in the army, they say its mighty fine.

When you take a sip, it tastes like turpentine !


Chorus


After the recent events, I guess its time to update the song with another stanza.....so here it goes


The glory in the army, they say its mighty fine

When you lay down your life, they says it isn't worth the time of a canine !
