歌词
Here's to the soldiers that march tae the wars
With lovely tin hats and long woollen drawers
The Colonel says, "Right lads, over the top"
Then he stands back tae watch while the poor buggers drop
Buy us a drink and we'll sing you a song
Of the chances you missed and the love that went wrong
If you can't buy a whiskey, send us a pint
We'll knock it straight down, and we'll sing half the night
There's girls in the parlour, there's girls in the bars
They paint on the smile, so you don't see the scars
They get lots of offers and not much respect
For raisin' three kids on a government cheque
Buy us a drink and we'll sing you a song
Of the chances you missed and the love that went wrong
If you can't buy a whiskey, send us a pint
We'll knock it straight down, and we'll sing half the night
Drink it down, boys, down
As long as there's light in the day
For you'll get no more sup
When your number is up
And they lay you to rot in the clay
In comes the landlord, so fat and contect
Comes 'round in his Volvo to pick up the rent
Then off with his wad tae recline by the pool
He leaves you to rot in this dirty old hold
Buy us a drink and we'll sing you a song
Of the chances you missed and the love that went wrong
If you can't buy a whiskey, send us a pint
We'll knock it straight down, and we'll sing half the night
It's the taste of the whiskey to tell you the truth
Has shortened me days and wasted me youth
Be kind to the health, sir, do it no harm
Put a pint'o the black on the end of me arm
Buy us a drink and we'll sing you a song
Of the chances you missed and the love that went wrong
If you can't buy a whiskey, send us a pint
We'll knock it straight down, and we'll sing half the night
Buy us a drink and we'll sing you a song
Of the chances you missed and the love that went wrong
If you can't buy a whiskey, send us a pint
We'll knock it straight down, and we'll sing half the night
