Come forward young men
Take hold of this pen
We will put food in your bellies
Never hunger again
Queens shilling for all
Make you walk proud and tall
Send you on an adventure
Your country has called
Don’t be shy at the back
Its time to attack
The enemies of England
Shall crumble and crack
Come now matey
Here`s your SA80
Your bullets and bayonet
And laser designator
Don’t stand at the back
Put this in your pack
A bottle of sun block
For the heat in Iraq.
