Don t start that talking
I could talk all night
my mind was sleep walking
While I m putting the world to rights
Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation ?
Oliver s Army is here to stay
Oliver s Army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
There was a Checkpoint Charlie
He didn t crack a smile
But it s no laughing party
When you ve been on the murder mile
All it takes is one itchy trigger
One more widow one less white nigger
Oliver s Army is here to stay
Oliver s Army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
than here today
Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
But there s no danger
It s a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill s ear
If you re out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
Oliver s Army is here to stay
Oliver s Army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
