Troop Commander Wales |
In the past they called me Harry |
Tabloid bad boy |
The rawkest lad of the royal family |
But now I’m on my way to the war in Iraq |
No more newspapers all on my back |
Calling me a slacker |
A right royal embarrassment |
I am the son of the heir to all of Britannia |
I wanna be there for all of the action |
Backin' up my boys on the battlegrounds |
And Dad’ll be proud |
Now his roudy youngest son’s grown up |
And knows how to hold a gun |
I wasn’t born as the oldest son |
So of course I’ve become the disposable one |
But I’ll show you all |
I’m cut from the same cloth |
As every monarch that’s ever fought, gained and lost |
I’ve taken on the job of commanding |
The greatest squad on the force and I’m on it |
Honest to God, I cross my heart with my sword |
And I promise, I wanna assure you all |
It’s not a task all my advice has made me do |
The last royal that saw battle was 1982 |
I was over the moon when I found |
I was chosen to take the troops deployed now |
I’m going to make the Blues and royals proud |
And if I break this oath, you can shoot me right down |
You can put an arrow in my eye |
Like the last herald when he died |
But this time I’m on the winning side |
With the scimitars we’ll deliver in Iraq |
To the limits of we win at last |
'Cause in the past the last time Britain didn’t win a war |
Was when we fought our current brothers in arms |
I’m doing this for all the others in our country |
But most of all for my mother |
