various artists - 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 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
monday i’m taken by a tar
tuesday i’m out with a baby boy scout
on wednesday a hussar
on thursday i gang out wi’ a scottie
on friday the captain of the crew
but on sat+rday i’m wiling, in 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 bosun
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 and 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!

come on, lads, we need a million!
a million!

be a man, enlist today!
enlist today!

have you a lad digging your garden when he should be digging trenches?
he should be digging trenches!

are there any able+bodied men in the house?
for on sat+rday i’m willing, if you’ll only take the shilling

to make a man of any one of you!
