Happy Birthday!
11/9/1841
birth of Ed VII
(1901-1910)
When I was young I used to be,
As fine a man as ever you'd see,
The Prince of Wales, he said to me,
"Come and join the British army."
Turalura-lura-loo,
They're looking for monkeys up in the zoo,
And if I had a face like you,
I'd join the British army.
"Join the British Army," per Ewan MacColl on Bless 'Em All (British Army
Songs) Riverside, who says this is a Victorian era song, with additional
verses from Brenden Behan. Also Dubliners & others.
