Verse 1
The Army and the Navy need attention
The outlook isn't healthy you'll admit
But I've got a perfect dream
Of a new recruiting scheme
Which I think is absolutely it....
If only other girls would do as I do
I believe that we could manage it alone
For I turn all suitors from me
but the sailor and the Tommy
I've an Army and a Navy of my own..
Verse 2
I teach the tenderfoot to face the powder
That adds an added lustre to my skin
And I show the raw recruit
How to give a chaste salute
So when I'm presenting arms, he's falling in...It
makes you almost proud to be a woman
When you make a strapping soldier of a kid
And he says "You put me through it
When I didn't want to do it
But you went and made me love you so I did"

Chorus
On Sunday I walk out with a soldier
On Monday, I'm taken by a Tar...
On Tuesday I'm with
A baby Boy Scout
On Wednesday a Hussar....
On Thursday I gang oot with a Scottie
On Friday, the Captain of the crew
But on Saturday I'm willing
if you'll only take the shilling
To make a man of any one of you!!! On Sunday I
walk out with a Bo'sun
On Monday, a Rifleman in green
On Tuesday I choose
A "sub" in the Blues
On Wednesday a Marine....
On Thursday, a Terrier from Tooting,
On Friday, a Midshipman (or two!)
But on Saturday I'm willing
if you'll only take the shilling
To make a man of any one of you!!! |
