WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE ARMY?

That Bloke there, “Wot’s he do?”
He’s a signaler like me and you.

Yes, but you’re a mech and I’m a driver
But the blue flash he’s wearing shows he’s neither.

Yes, my friend, best not to ask
For he has quite a different task.

His Signals trade of OKC
Cypher Op to you and me.

But ask him what he does all day,
“I earns my pay” is all he’ll say

Hospital files and officers wiles
Sometimes bring secret smiles,

But “I earns my pay”
Is all he’ll ever say.
