A Christmas Song |
| From playing fields to killing fields: just one small step of madness |
| Officer training, uniform, boys together shower together |
| Rank and file can be just fine but that’s not what we’re here for |
| So, sign upon the dotted line, be commissioned, Hell for leather |
| How we sang that old school song, from Pirates of Penzance |
| Foemen bearing steel, we slapped our chests and raised our voices |
| No mad poets we, or painters twee but young men with a yearning |
| To flex our might for all that’s right when face with moral choices |
| Wrapped in the old school song, we fly our colours high |
| Bravo! |
| The old school song! |
| Harsh reality, by and by |
| Dad delivered us from the Hun and we reflect his selfless deed |
| On this desert plain of conflict where special forces, choppers need |
| Fly-boy coming to collect you, lift you up and then protect you |
| Be this gung or be this ho, may glorious battle resurrect you |
| Wrapped in the old school song, we fly our colours high |
| Bravo! |
| The old school song! |
| Harsh reality, by and by |
