Old School 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 |
