Could You Please Oblige Us With A Bren Gun - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]

Written by：Noel Coward[00:00:04]

Colonel montmorency[00:00:08]

Who was in Calcutta in ninety two[00:00:10]

Emerged from his retirement for the war[00:00:12]

He wasn't very pleased[00:00:16]

With all he heard and all[00:00:17]

He saw[00:00:18]

But whatever he felt he tightened his belt[00:00:19]

And organised a corps poor[00:00:22]

Colonel montmorency[00:00:24]

Thought considering all the wars he'd faught[00:00:26]

The home guard was his job to do or die[00:00:28]

But after days and weeks and years bravely[00:00:32]

Drying his many tears[00:00:35]

He wrote the following letter to the minister of supply[00:00:36]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:00:40]

Or failing that a hand grenade will do[00:00:44]

We've got some ammunition[00:00:48]

In a rather damp condition[00:00:49]

And major huss has a arquebus that was used at[00:00:52]

Waterloo[00:00:54]

With the vicar's stirrup pump[00:00:56]

A pitchfork and a stave[00:00:57]

It's rather hard to guard an aerodrome[00:00:59]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:01:03]

The home guard might as well go home[00:01:07]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:01:11]

We're getting awfully tired of drawing lots[00:01:15]

Today we had a shipment[00:01:19]

Of some curious equipment[00:01:20]

And just for a prank they sent us a tank[00:01:22]

That ties itself in knots[00:01:25]

On sunday's mock invasion[00:01:27]

Captain clark was heard to say[00:01:28]

He hadn't even got a brush and comb[00:01:30]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:01:34]

The home guard might as well go home[00:01:38]

Colonel montmorency[00:01:46]

Planned in case the enemy tried to land[00:01:48]

To drive them back with skill[00:01:50]

And armoured force[00:01:52]

He realised his army[00:01:54]

Should be mechanised of course[00:01:55]

But somewhere inside experience cried my kingdom for a horse[00:01:57]

Poor[00:02:03]

Colonel montmorency[00:02:04]

Tried at infinite cost to time and pride[00:02:06]

To tackle his superiors again[00:02:09]

Having just one motorbike[00:02:12]

Fourteen swords and a marlin spike[00:02:14]

He wrote the following letter[00:02:17]

In the following urgent strain[00:02:18]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:02:20]

We need it very badly I'm afraid[00:02:25]

Our local crossword solver[00:02:28]

Has an excellent revolver[00:02:30]

But during a short attack on a fort the trigger[00:02:32]

Got mislaid[00:02:35]

In course of operations planned for Friday afternoon[00:02:36]

Our orders are to storm the hippodrome[00:02:40]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:02:44]

The home guard might as well go home[00:02:48]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:02:52]

The lack of one is wounding to our pride[00:02:56]

Last night we found the cutest little german parachutist[00:03:00]

He looked at our kit and giggled a bit[00:03:04]

And laughed until he cried[00:03:06]

We'll have to hide that armoured car when marching through[00:03:07]

Berlin[00:03:10]

We'd almost be ashamed of it in rome[00:03:12]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:03:15]

The home guard might as well go home[00:03:19]
