Battalion/Army songs

[John Turner]

Gerr-um down you Zulu warrior
Gerr-um down you Zulu chief
Chief

Ale zoomba zoomba zoomba
Ale zoomba zoomba ay
Ale zoomba zoomba zoomba
Ale zoomba zoomba ay

(Then the flames reached my butt and that's all I remember)

Dina, Dina, show us a leg, show us a leg, show us a leg
Dina, Dina, show us a leg a yard above your knee,
A rich girl wears a ring of gold, a poor girl one of brass
the only ring that Dina has is the one around her ar-e

Dina, Dina, show us a leg, show us a leg, show us a leg
Dina, Dina, show us a leg a yard above your knee,
A rich girl uses Vaseline, a poor girl uses lard
Dina uses axle grease because her ****'s so hard

Dina, Dina, show us a leg, show us a leg, show us a leg
Dina, Dina, show us a leg a yard above your knee,
A rich girl rides in a limousine, a poor girl in a truck
the only ride that Dina has is when she gets a ****

Dina, Dina, show us a leg, show us a leg, show us a leg
Dina, Dina, show us a leg a yard above your knee.

It was on the bridge at midnight
throwing snowballs at the moon
when she said "Ive never had it"
well she spoke to ******g soon.
etc,etc,etc.
--------------------

Mary from the mountain glen seduced herself with a fountain pen
the ink ran wild and she had a child ?????
they called the B*****d Stephen, they called the B*****d Stephen,
they called the B*****d Stephen cos that was the name of the ink.
etc, etc, etc.

The above might not be accurate as my memory is slowly fading.

Anyone remember some of the songs old Jinx 38 would make up after a few swigs, the one i remember best is
WE ARE THE COLWYN BAY BOYS,
it was something to do with doing something to the C Os daughter in a little shack beside the square,
nice one Jinx.

I started a thread on this a while back titled "Songs by the boys" Worth a look as there are some good old chestnuts in there with some lyrics .
I think that my all time favourites have to be ;
Nick Ravenhill with Ringo
Richie Irvine with the Quartermasters Stores
Charlie Fenton with That's my Brother Sylvester and We are Warriors
Skipper Wood with the Ugly Bug Ball
