THE DAY THE BRITISH ARMY LOST THE WAR

Hammond-Hazelwood

Your father spent his life on a military base

He made the army his career

He pinned your pictures up in the officer's mess

And hoped you'd marry a bombardier

But you had a crush on the son of a working man

I know that made the major sore

But still he smiled with the utmost self-control

The day the British army lost the war

And they argued over tea

And they argued over me

And they sent you to your room and locked the door

Yes, and they argued over tea

Haha!, argued over me

The day the British army lost the war

But I know you loved you old man very much

But then I know you loved me more

And I loved you more than I even loved myself

The day the British army lost the war

And they argued over tea

And they argued over me

And they sent you to your room and locked the door

Yes, and they argued over tea

And they argued over me

The day the British army lost the war

The day the British army lost the war
