There's a spot that the soldiers all love, |
| [00:04.141] |
The mess-tent's the place that we mean, |
| [00:08.081] |
And the dish we like best to see there |
| [00:12.031] |
Is the old-fashioned white army bean. |
| [00:16.254] |
Tis the bean that we mean, |
| [00:20.164] |
And we'll eat as we ne'er ate before; |
| [00:24.086] |
The army bean, nice and clean, |
| [00:29.974] |
We'll stick to our beans evermore. |
| [00:37.756] |
Now the bean in its primitive state |
| [00:41.969] |
Is a plant we have all often met; |
| [00:45.900] |
And when cooked in the old army style, |
| [00:49.831] |
It has charms we can never forget. |
| [00:53.748] |
Tis the bean that we mean, |
| [00:57.676] |
And we'll eat as we ne'er ate before; |
| [01:01.608] |
The army bean, nice and clean, |
| [01:07.516] |
We'll stick to our beans evermore. |
| [01:15.290] |
The German is fund of Sauerkraut, |
| [01:19.221] |
The potato is loved by the Mick; |
| [01:23.142] |
But the soldiers have long since found out |
| [01:26.788] |
That through life to our beans we must stick. |
| [01:30.993] |
Tis the bean that we mean, |
| [01:34.628] |
And we'll eat as we ne'er ate before; |
| [01:38.555] |
The army bean, nice and clean, |
| [01:44.446] |
We'll stick to our beans evermore. |
