When This Bloody War is Over

When this bloody war is over
Oh, how happy I will be;
When I get my civvy clothes on
No more soldiering for me.

No more church parades on Sunday
No more begging for a pass;
I will tell the Sergeant Major
To stuff his passes up his ass.

I will sound my own reveille
I will beat my own tattoo;
No more NCOs to curse me,
No more fucking Army stew.

Recorded by MacColl, British Army Songs
