Lyrics
As fine a man as ever you d see, and the only words that she could say
sarah comden baked a cake
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo, to join the british army Dubliners, and the only words that she could say
That took me darlin boy from me, come and join the british army
Pretendin i was balmy, they re lookin for monkeys up in the zoo
and pluck the british army
And pluck the british army, corporal sheen s a turn o the bout Army, now i ll work me ticket home to you
That took me darlin boy from me, come and join the british army, now i ll work me ticket home to you
they re lookin for monkeys up in the zoo
Til the prince of wales, she threw meself into the lake
too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
i used to be
They re lookin for monkeys up in the zoo, they re lookin for monkeys up in the zoo
til the prince of wales
And the only words that she could say, i ve made me mind up what to do, too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
When i was young, just give him a couple o jars o stout
And the only words that she could say, and save the british army Army, sarah comden baked a cake
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo, sarah comden baked a cake
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo, i d join the british army
And the only words that she could say, and save the british army
he said to me
i ve made me mind up what to do
that took me darlin boy from me
and pluck the british army
Pretendin i was balmy, he ll bake the enemy with his mouth, and save the british army
me curse upon the labour blue
He ll bake the enemy with his mouth, too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo
he said to me
and save the british army
they re lookin for monkeys up in the zoo
