IT MAKES A FELLOW PROUD TO BE A SOLDIER
alternate verses from the U.K. version, as performed on the David Frost show:
Now Peter was the nicest boy his mother'd ever seen.
He never even stabbd a cop till he was seventeen.
A switch-blade can be fun, you bet,
But it can't compare with a bayonet,
Which makes a fellow proud to be a soldier.
Discipline builds character, they say,
So whatever the general says, I will obey.
If I'm asked to kill some folks,
I don't wait for him to coax.
(spoken) I'm sure such an important man wouldn't ask me for a favor like that unless he had some perfectly good reason. . . . . . . . . . . . .
