DON'T START THAT TALKIN'
I COULD TALK ALL NIGHT
MY MIND GOES SLEEPWALKIN'
WHILE I'M PUTTIN'
THE WORLD TO RIGHT
CALL CAREERS INFORMATION
HAVE YOU GOT YOURSELF
AN OCCUPATION
OLIVER'S ARMY IS HERE TO STAY
OLIVER'S ARMY
ARE ON THEIR WAY
AND I WOULD RATHER
BE ANYWHERE ELSE
THAN HERE TODAY
THERE WAS
A CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
HE DIDN'T CRACK A SMILE
BUT IT'S NO LAUGHIN' PARTY
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
ON THE MURDER MILE
ALL IT TAKES
ONE ITCHY TRIGGER
ONE MORE WIDOW
ONE LESS WHITE NIGGER
OLIVER'S ARMY IS HERE TO STAY
OLIVER'S ARMY
ARE ON THEIR WAY
AND I WOULD RATHER
BE ANYWHERE ELSE
THAN HERE TODAY
HONG KONG IS UP FOR GRABS
LONDON IS FULL OF ARABS
WE COULD BE IN PALESTINE
OVERRUN BY THE CHINESE LINE
WITH THE BOYS
FROM THE MERSEY
AND THE THAMES AND THE TYNE
BUT THERE'S NO DANGER
IT'S A PROFESSIONAL CAREER
THOUGH IT COULD
BE ARRANGED
WITH JUST A WORD
IN MISTER CHURCHILL'S EAR
IF YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK
OR OUT OF WORK
WE COULD SEND YOU TO
JOHANNESBURG
OLIVER'S ARMY IS HERE TO STAY
OLIVER'S ARMY
ARE ON THEIR WAY
AND I WOULD RATHER
BE ANYWHERE ELSE
THAN HERE TODAY
AND I WOULD RATHER
BE ANYWHERE ELSE
THAN HERE TODAY
AND I WOULD RATHER
BE ANYWHERE ELSE
THAN HERE TODAY...
