Come And Join The British Army - The Dubliners

When I was young I used to be
As fine a man as ever youâ²d see
And the Prince of Wales he said to me
Come And Join The British Armyâ²

Toora loora loora loo
They're looking for monkeys up in the zoo
And says one if I had a face like you
I'd join the British army

Sarrah came and baked the cake
And sold for poor old Stafelyâ²s sake
So Iâ²ll throw myself into the lake
Pretending I was barmy

Toora loora loora loo
What make me mind up what to do?
Now I'll work me ticket home to you
And ... the British army

Sergeant Healy went away
And his wife got in the family way
And the only words that she could say
Was â²Blame the British army'

Toora loora loora loo
Me curse upon the Labour too
That took me darling boy from me
To join the British army

Corporal Sheane has a terrible mouth
Just give him a couple oâ² jars of stout
And he'll ate the enemy with his mouth
And save the British army

Toora loora loora loo
What made me mind up what to do?
Now Iâ²ll work me ticket home to you
And ... the British army
