Текст (слова) песни: Ridgway Stan - Cannon Song (aka Army Song)
(Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht/Marc Blitzstein) Performed by Stan Ridgway and the Fowler Brothers John was all present and Jim was all there And Georgie was up for promotion Not that the Army gave a bugger who they were When confronting some heathen commotion CHORUS The troops live under the cannon`s thunder FromSind to Cooch Behar Moving from place to place When they come face to face With a different breed of fellow Whose skin is black or yellow they quick as winking chop them into beefsteak tartar Johnny found his whiskey too warm And Jimmy found the weather too balmy But Georgie took them both by the arm and said, "Don`t ever disappoint the Army!" CHORUS John is a write-off and Jimmy is dead And Georgie was shot for looting And young men`s blood goes on being red While the Army just goes on ahead recruiting CHORUS -------------------------------------------------------------
