Could You Please Oblige Us With a Bren Gun? - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Sidney Black and His Orchestra[00:00:00]

Colonel montmorency who was in calcutta in ninety two[00:00:07]

Emerged from his retirement for the war[00:00:11]

He wasn't very pleased with all he heard and all he saw[00:00:14]

But whatever he felt he tightened his belt and organised a corps[00:00:18]

Poor colonel montmorency thought all the wars he'd faught[00:00:21]

The home guard was his job to do or die[00:00:26]

But after days and weeks and years bravely drying his many tears[00:00:29]

He wrote the following letter to the minister of supply[00:00:33]

Couls you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:00:37]

Or failing that a hand grenade will do[00:00:41]

We've got some ammunition in a rather damp condition[00:00:44]

And major huss has a arquebus that was used at waterloo[00:00:48]

With the vicar's stirrup pump a pitchfork and a stave[00:00:52]

It's rather hard to guard an aerodrome[00:00:55]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:00:59]

The home guard might as well go home[00:01:02]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:01:06]

We're getting awfully tired of drawing lots[00:01:10]

Today we had a shipment of some curious equipment[00:01:13]

And just for a prank they sent us a tank that ties itself in knots[00:01:17]

On sunday's mock invasion captain clark was heard to say[00:01:21]

He hadn't even got a brush and comb[00:01:24]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:01:28]

The home guard might as well go home[00:01:31]

Colonel montmorency planned in case the enemy tried to land[00:01:39]

To drive them back with skill and armoured force[00:01:42]

He realised his army should be mechanised of course[00:01:46]

But somewhere inside experience cried my kingdom for a horse[00:01:49]

Poor colonel montmorency tried at infinite cost to time and pride[00:01:55]

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

Having just one motorbike fourteen swords and a marlin spike[00:02:03]

He wrote the following letter in the following urgent strain[00:02:07]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:02:11]

We need it very badly I'm afraid[00:02:15]

Our local crossword solver has an excellent revolver[00:02:18]

But during a short attack on a fort the trigger got mislaid[00:02:22]

In course of operations planned for friday afternoon[00:02:26]

Our orders are to storm the hippodrome[00:02:29]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:02:33]

The home guard might as well go home[00:02:37]

Could you please oblige us with a bren gun[00:02:41]

The lack of one is wounding to our pride[00:02:44]

Last night we found the cutest little german parachutist[00:02:48]

He looked at our kit and giggled a bit and laughed until he cried[00:02:51]

We'll have to hide that armoured car when marching through berlin[00:02:55]

We'd almost be ashamed of it in rome[00:02:58]

So if you can't oblige us with a bren gun[00:03:02]

The home guard might as well go home[00:03:06]
