Could You Please Oblige Us With A Bren Gun - Noel Coward and Orchestra
Written by:Noel Coward
Colonel montmorency
Who was in Calcutta in ninety two
Emerged from his retirement for the war
He wasn't very pleased
With all he heard and all
He saw
But whatever he felt he tightened his belt
And organised a corps poor
Colonel montmorency
Thought considering all the wars he'd faught
The home guard was his job to do or die
But after days and weeks and years bravely
Drying his many tears
He wrote the following letter to the minister of supply
Could you please oblige us with a bren gun
Or failing that a hand grenade will do
We've got some ammunition
In a rather damp condition
And major huss has a arquebus that was used at
Waterloo
With the vicar's stirrup pump
A pitchfork and a stave
It's rather hard to guard an aerodrome
So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun
The home guard might as well go home
Could you please oblige us with a bren gun
We're getting awfully tired of drawing lots
Today we had a shipment
Of some curious equipment
And just for a prank they sent us a tank
That ties itself in knots
On sunday's mock invasion
Captain clark was heard to say
He hadn't even got a brush and comb
So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun
The home guard might as well go home
Colonel montmorency
Planned in case the enemy tried to land
To drive them back with skill
And armoured force
He realised his army
Should be mechanised of course
But somewhere inside experience cried my kingdom for a horse
Poor
Colonel montmorency
Tried at infinite cost to time and pride
To tackle his superiors again
Having just one motorbike
Fourteen swords and a marlin spike
He wrote the following letter
In the following urgent strain
Could you please oblige us with a bren gun
We need it very badly I'm afraid
Our local crossword solver
Has an excellent revolver
But during a short attack on a fort the trigger
Got mislaid
In course of operations planned for Friday afternoon
Our orders are to storm the hippodrome
So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun
The home guard might as well go home
Could you please oblige us with a bren gun
The lack of one is wounding to our pride
Last night we found the cutest little german parachutist
He looked at our kit and giggled a bit
And laughed until he cried
We'll have to hide that armoured car when marching through
Berlin
We'd almost be ashamed of it in rome
So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun
The home guard might as well go home
