I remember a while ago now, knowing alternative lyrics to "The British Army" which went along the lines of :

When I was young I had a twist of punching babies with my fist, so I decided I'd enlist and join the british Army....

Thats the only bit I can remember, does anybody know the rest of it?

Cheers,
Andy

This one?

Join The British Army

When I was young I had a twist of punching babies with me fist
And I thought I would enlist and join the british army.

Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, they're looking for monkeys up in the zoo
If I had a face like you, I would join the British army.

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."

Sarah Camdon baked a cake; it was all for poor old Slattery's sake.
I threw meself into the lake, pretending I was balmy.

Corporal Duff's got such a drought, just give him a couple of jars of stout;
He'll kill the enemy with his mouth and save the British Army.
Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, Me curse is on the Labour crew;
They took your darling boy from you to join the British army.

Captain Heeley went away and his wife got in the family way,
And all the words that she would say was "Blame the British Army."
Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, I've made me mind up what to do
I'll work my ticket home to you and leave the British army.

So the first line is the only line that's different then?

Thanks,

I have a punk verison of Fuck the British Army. The MP3 tag claims it's The Irish Rovers which I'm fairly sure it is not. It sounds more like Flogging Molly. Does anyone here know of the band who it might be?
