If you want to find the general
I know where he is
If you want to find the general
I know where he is
He's pinning another medal on his chest
I saw him, I saw him
Pinning another medal on his chest
If you want to find the colonel
I know where he is
If you want to find the colonel
I know where he is
He's sitting in comfort stuffing his bloody gut
I saw him, I saw him
Sitting in comfort stuffing his bloody gut
If you want to find the sergeant
I know where he is
If you want to find the sergeant
I know where he is
He's drinking all the company rum
I saw him, I saw him
Drinking all the company rum
If you want to find the private
I know where he is
If you want to find the private
I know where he is
He's hanging on the old barbed wire
I saw him, I saw him
Hanging on the old barbed wire
I saw him, hanging on the old barbed wire
