Could You Please Oblige Us - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]

Colonel Montmorency who was in Calcutta in ninety-two[00:00:08]

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

He wasn't very pleased with all he heard and all he saw[00:00:16]

But whatever he felt he tightened his belt and organised a Corps[00:00:20]

Poor Colonel Montmorency thought considering all the wars he'd faught[00:00:24]

The Home Guard was his job to do or die[00:00:29]

But after days and weeks and years bravely drying his many tears[00:00:33]

He wrote the following letter to the Minister of Supply[00:00:37]

Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun [00:00:41]

Or failing that a hand grenade will do[00:00:45]

We've got some ammunition in a rather damp condition[00:00:49]

And Major Huss has a arquebus that was used at Waterloo[00:00:53]

With the Vicar's stirrup pump a pitchfork and a stave[00:00:57]

It's rather hard to guard an aerodrome[00:01:01]

So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun[00:01:05]

The Home Guard might as well go home[00:01:09]

Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun [00:01:13]

We're getting awfully tired of drawing lots[00:01:17]

Today we had a shipment of some curious equipment[00:01:21]

And just for a prank they sent us a tank that ties itself in knots[00:01:25]

On Sunday's mock invasion Captain Clark was heard to say[00:01:29]

He hadn't even got a brush and comb[00:01:33]

So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun[00:01:37]

The Home Guard might as well go home[00:01:41]

Colonel Montmorency planned in case the enemy tried to land[00:01:50]

To drive them back with skill and armoured force[00:01:53]

He realised his army should be mechanised of course[00:01:57]

But somewhere inside experience cried "My Kingdom for a horse"[00:02:01]

Poor Colonel Montmorency tried at infinite cost to time and pride[00:02:07]

To tackle his superiors again[00:02:13]

Having just one motorbike fourteen swords and a marlin spike[00:02:17]

He wrote the following letter in the following urgent strain[00:02:21]

Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun [00:02:25]

We need it very badly I'm afraid[00:02:29]

Our local crossword solver has an excellent revolver[00:02:33]

But during a short attack on a fort the trigger got mislaid[00:02:38]

In course of operations planned for Friday afternoon[00:02:42]

Our orders are to storm the Hippodrome[00:02:46]

So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun[00:02:50]

The Home Guard might as well go home[00:02:54]

Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun [00:02:58]

The lack of one is wounding to our pride[00:03:02]

Last night we found the cutest little German parachutist[00:03:06]

He looked at our kit and giggled a bit and laughed until he cried[00:03:10]

We'll have to hide that armoured car when marching to Berlin[00:03:14]

We'd almost be ashamed of it in Rome[00:03:18]

So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun[00:03:22]

The Home Guard might as well go home[00:03:26]
