arthur wimperis and herman finck - i'll make a man of you lyrics
the army and the navy need attention
the outlook isn’t healthy you’ll admit
but i’ve got a perfect dream of a new recruiting scheme
which i think is absolutely it
if only other girls would do as i do
i believe that we could manage it alone
for i turn all suitors from me but the sailor and the tommy
i’ve an army and a navy of my own
on sunday i walk out with a soldier
on monday i’m taken by a tar
on tuesday i’m out with a baby boy scout
on wednesday a hussar;
on thursday a gang oot wi’ a scottie
on friday, the captain of the crew;
but on sat-rday i’m willing, if you’ll only take the shilling
to make a man of any one of you
i teach the tenderfoot to face the powder
that gives an added l-stre to my skin
and i show the raw recruit how to give a chaste salute
so when i’m presenting arms he’s falling in
it makes you almost proud to be a woman
when you make a strapping soldier of a kid
and he says ‘you put me through it and i didn’t want to do it
but you went and made me love you so i did.’
on sunday i walk out with a bo’sun
on monday a rifleman in green
on tuesday i choose a ‘sub’ in the ‘blues’
on wednesday a marine;
on thursday a terrier from tooting
on friday a midshipman or two
but on sat-rday i’m willing, if you’ll only take the shilling
to make a man of any one of you
