If you've ever stole a pheasant egg be'ind the keeper's backA
If you've ever snigged the washin' from the lineB
If you've ever crammed a gander in your bloomin' 'aversackA
You will understand this little song o' mineB
But the service rules are 'ard an' from such we are debarredC
For the same with English morals does not suitC
Cornet Toot tootC
W'y they call a man a robber if 'e stuffs 'is marchin' clobberD
With theE
Chorus Loo loo Lulu lulu Loo loo Loot loot lootC
Ow the lootC
Bloomin' lootC
That's the thing to make the boys git up an' shootC
It's the same with dogs an' menF
If you'd make 'em come againF
Clap 'em forward with a Loo loo Lulu LootC
ff Whoopee Tear 'im puppy Loo loo Lulu Loot loot lootC

If you've knocked a nigger edgeways when 'e's thrustin' for your lifeG
You must leave 'im very careful where 'e fellH
An' may thank your stars an' gaiters if you didn't feel 'is knifeG
That you ain't told off to bury 'im as wellH
Then the sweatin' Tommies wonder as they spade the beggars underD
Why lootin' should be entered as a crimeI
So if my song you'll 'ear I will learn you plain an' clearJ
'Ow to pay yourself for fightin' overtimeI
Chorus With the lootC
-
Now remember when you're 'acking round a gilded Burma godC
That 'is eyes is very often precious stonesK
An' if you treat a nigger to a dose o' cleanin' rodC
'E's like to show you everything 'e ownsK
When 'e won't prodooce no more pour some water on the floorL
Where you 'ear it answer 'ollow to the bootC
Cornet Toot tootC
When the ground begins to sink shove your baynick down the chinkA
An' you're sure to touch theE
Chorus Loo loo Lulu Loot loot lootC
Ow the lootC

When from 'ouse to 'ouse you're 'unting you must always work in pairsM
It 'alves the gain but safer you will findC
For a single man gets bottled on them twisty wisty stairsM
An' a woman comes and clobs 'im from be'indC
When you've turned 'em inside out an' it seems beyond a doubtC
As if there weren't enough to dust a fluteC
Cornet Toot tootC
Before you sling your 'ook at the 'ousetops take a lookA
For it's underneath the tiles they 'ide the lootC
Chorus Ow the lootC
-
You can mostly square a Sergint an' a Quartermaster tooC
If you only take the proper way to goA
I could never keep my pickin's but I've learned you all I knewC
An' don't you never say I told you soA
An' now I'll bid good bye for I'm gettin' rather dryN
An' I see another tunin' up to tootC
Cornet Toot tootC
So 'ere's good luck to those that wears the Widow's clo'esA
An' the Devil send 'em all they want o' lootC
Chorus Yes the lootC
Bloomin' lootC
In the tunic an' the mess tin an' the bootC
It's the same with dogs an' menF
If you'd make 'em come againF
fff Whoop 'em forward with a Loo loo Lulu Loot loot lootC
Heeya Sick 'im puppy Loo loo Lulu Loot loot lootC
