We Quit the Cavalry
We fight for the Queen and country and we're back here again
Over the hills to the battlefield 10 thousand marching men
We never say surrender but now we must admit
Shove the rotten regiment we're off on a moonlight flit
Ho tally ho! The battle cry oh!
We're off down the pub
Ho tally ho! A pint and decent grub
Down in the valley we can see
The men marching for victory
We'll skip the blood on the battlefield
Stuff all the bravery
Coz we quit the cavalry
We're shot injured and wounded, they call us men of war
It's too noisy and dirty and we can't take no more
No bath or battlefield shower and people say we're brave
But now we're gonna do a bunk for a decent wash n' shave
Ho tally ho! The battle cry oh!
We're off down the pub
Ho tally ho! A pint and decent, pint and decent grub
Down in the valley we can see
Coz we quit the cavalry
Don't shoot
This is not the life for me
Shoot don't shoot
It's not my cup o' tea
Ho tally ho! The battle cry oh!
Ho tally ho!
Down in the valley we can see
The men marching for victory
We'll skip the blood on the battlefield
Stuff all the bravery
Coz we quit the cavalry
Down in the valley we can see
The men marching for victory
We'll skip the blood on the battlefield
Stuff all the bravery
Coz we quit the caval, we quit the caval, we quit the cavalry
Over the hills to the battlefield 10 thousand marching men
We never say surrender but now we must admit
Shove the rotten regiment we're off on a moonlight flit
Ho tally ho! The battle cry oh!
We're off down the pub
Ho tally ho! A pint and decent grub
Down in the valley we can see
The men marching for victory
We'll skip the blood on the battlefield
Stuff all the bravery
Coz we quit the cavalry
We're shot injured and wounded, they call us men of war
It's too noisy and dirty and we can't take no more
No bath or battlefield shower and people say we're brave
But now we're gonna do a bunk for a decent wash n' shave
Ho tally ho! The battle cry oh!
We're off down the pub
Ho tally ho! A pint and decent, pint and decent grub
Down in the valley we can see
Coz we quit the cavalry
Don't shoot
This is not the life for me
Shoot don't shoot
It's not my cup o' tea
Ho tally ho! The battle cry oh!
Ho tally ho!
Down in the valley we can see
The men marching for victory
We'll skip the blood on the battlefield
Stuff all the bravery
Coz we quit the cavalry
Down in the valley we can see
The men marching for victory
We'll skip the blood on the battlefield
Stuff all the bravery
Coz we quit the caval, we quit the caval, we quit the cavalry
