Oliver's Army Don't start me talking I could talk all night My mind goes sleepwalking While I'm putting the world to right
Called careers information Have you got yourself an occupation?
[Chorus:] Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army are on their way And I would rather be anywhere else But here today
There was a checkpoint Charlie He didn't crack a smile But it's no laughing party When you've been on the murder mile
Only takes one itchy trigger One more widow, one less white nigger
[Chorus]
Hong Kong is up for grabs London is full of Arabs We could be in Palestine Overrun by a 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 Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work We could send you to Johannesburg
