I hate the army and I hate the R.A.F.
I don't wanna go a-fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the Civil Service rules
And I won't open letter bombs for you

They're gonna have to introduce conscription
They're gonna have to take away my perscription
If they wanna get me makin' toys
If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice
