When I was young I used to be As fine a man as ever you'd see, Til the Prince of Wales he said to me: "Come and join the British army." Refrain: 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 join the British army."

Refrain: 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. Refrain: Kilted soldiers wear no drawers. Won't you kindly lend them yours. The rich must always help the poor, To save the British army. Refrain:

When I was young I used to be As fine a man as ever you'd see, Til the Prince of Wales he said to me: "Come and join the British army." Refrain:
