we are Fred karno's army,
the rag time infantry,
we can not fight, we can not march,
what earthly use are we?
And when we get to Berlin,
the Kaiser he will say:
'ha ha mein gott what a jolly rotten lot, are the rag time infantry',
we are Fred karno's army,
a jolly lot are we,
Fred karno is our captain,
Charlie Chaplin our O.C.,
and when we get to Berlin,
the Kaiser he will say 'ha ha mein gott what a jolly fine lot, are the boys of company C'
