Paroles de The Recruiting Sergeant
As I was walkin' down the street,Feelin' nice and larky-oh
A recruiting sergeant said to me,
You'd look nice in khaki-oh,
The King he is in need of men,
Just read the proclamation-oh
A life in Flanders for you
Then would be a nice vacation-oh,
That maybe true sais I to him
But tell me sergeant deary-oh
If I had a pack struck on me back
Would I look nice and cheery-oh
For you'd make me drill and train all night
By sleepin on four benches-oh
It may be warm in Flanders
But it is draughty in the trenches-oh
The sergeant twirled his little cane
His smile was so provokin' oh
He twiddled and twirled his wee moustache
He said I hope you're jokin' oh,
For the sandbags are so nice and high
The wind you won't feel blowin'
I waved to a colleen passin' by
I said what if it's snowing-oh
Come rain or hail nor wind or snow
Well I'm not goin' to Flanders oh I waved the sergeant a nice goodbye
And there and then we parted oh
I waved the sergeant a nice goodbye
And there and then we parted oh
Then would be a nice vacation-oh,
That maybe true sais I to him
But tell me sergeant deary-oh
If I had a pack struck on me back
Would I look nice and cheery-oh
For you'd make me drill and train all night
By sleepin on four benches-oh
It may be warm in Flanders
But it is draughty in the trenches-oh
The sergeant twirled his little cane
His smile was so provokin' oh
He twiddled and twirled his wee moustache
He said I hope you're jokin' oh,
For the sandbags are so nice and high
The wind you won't feel blowin'
I waved to a colleen passin' by
I said what if it's snowing-oh
Come rain or hail nor wind or snow
Well I'm not goin' to Flanders oh I waved the sergeant a nice goodbye
And there and then we parted oh
I waved the sergeant a nice goodbye
And there and then we parted oh
