Can anyone lend their assistance???
Greetings!Just found your site; it looks great. But I'm looking for a specific song and wonder if you can help/direct me.
My dad (Army Air Corps/AF was a Marauder) used to sing an Army song (borrowed from the Brits?) to the tune of Old King Cole.
I remember fragments only and am looking for the full lyrics. It was the sort of song that built up
in repeating verses until the final verse was something like this:
"I hate war" said the President,
The Army's shot to hell said the generals
Bring me boots and spurs said the shavetail
We want 10 days leave said the majors
Right by squads squads right said the sergeant
____ said the privates
Merry merry men are we. There's none so fair as can compare with the field artillery.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
And thank you for your great website.
Regards,
