Old king cole


Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
Called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his privates three "Beer, beer, beer", said the privates
Merry men are weThere's none so fair as can compare
With the Fighting Infantry Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
Called for his pipe And he called for his bowl
And he called for his corporals three Hup two said the corporals
Beer, beer, beer said the privates
Merry men are weThere's none so fair as can compare
With the Fighting Infantry Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
Called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his sergeants three Yeahhhhh, said the sergeants
Hup two said the corporals
Beer, beer, beer said the privates
Merry men are weThere's none so fair as can compare
With the Fighting Infantry Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
Called for his pipe And he called for his bowl And he called for his shavetails three We do all the work said the shavetails
Yeahhhh, said the sergeants
March you dump watch said the corporals
Beer, beer, beer said the privates
Merry men are weThere's none so fair as can compare
With the Fighting Infantry Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
Called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his captains three Oh don't be late for the dance said the captains
We do all the work, said the shavetails
Yeahhhhh said the sergeants
March to the guardhouse said the corporals
Beer, beer, beer said the privates

And a merry old soul was he
Called for his pipe
