The Last Escape (March of the Bastards)

(Supplementary song from Marty Gull: The sink estate kids march off to another oilfield war - to the tune of The Great Escape)
“Mother?”
said my dear brother
“I kissed a girl, I think I love her”
Said my dear mother
to my dear brother
“Pull up yer pants and shut up”
“Mother?”
said my dear brother
“I’d give the world to have a father”
Said my dear mother
to my dear brother
“Son you’re just like your papa”
Glory to God so
now I’ve become a man
Though what this thing’s for
I’ll grow to understand
Now I’m at war
with a big sword
here in my hand
Virgins, oh virgins, beware
Glory to God
now I have a weapon
Where do I put it?
“Back in - your - sheath - my son”
(One-two-three, and a-one-two-three, and a-)
“Father?
Just thought I’d ask yer
whether or not you ever loved me?”
Said my dear father
to my dear brother
“Why don’t you ask your mother?”
(Two-three-four-)
Father
up there in heaven
how you must know the ways of women
Said my dear father
to my dear brother
“How do you think I got here?”Captain Winters' Memories

Another exemplary style mix for Marty Gull composers. "Beethoven's Colonel Bogey" by Dudley Moore.

Hitler has only got one ball,
Göring has two but very small,
Himmler is somewhat sim'lar,
But poor Goebbels has no balls at all...
