    'Where Wizzbangs & Shrapnel they whistle and roar'.

      I don't a bayonet in my belly.
      I don't want my bollocks shot away.
      I want to stay in England.
      Dear old dear old England.
      And fornicate my 'blooming' life away.
      I thank you. Don't you just love a good old singsong.
      Respects 🙏.

    I want to go home
    I want to go home
    I don't want to go in the trenches no more
    Where whizzbangs and shrapnel they whistle and roar
    Take me over the sea, where the alleyman can't get at me
    Oh.. god, i don't want to die. I want to go home
    Take me over the sea, where the alleyman can't get at me
    Oh.. god, i don't want to die.
    I want to go home

      I believe it’s
      Oh my I don’t want to die
      Instead of
      Oh god I don’t want to die

    • @oldgitsknowstuff
      @oldgitsknowstuff Год назад +1

      Its 'Oh My I don't want to die' because God doesn't rhyme with Die. Anyway, 'taking the Lord's name in vain' at the time was considered somewhat improper.

      @@RomanesEuntDomus I fully agree, but the film suffered very unfair treatment, because it upset the establishment , and when release time in the USA came, it was delayed for many months, never advertised, and shown in off Main street cinemas only. This was due to all the anti Vietnam War protests there. Satire is a very effective but dangerous weapon to those in power. The VHS release of the film was very short lived, and taken out of circulation . It took 30 years for it to be released on DVD, and even then. from limited sources. Richard Attenborough could not explain this. We believe you Dickie--not.

    I read somewhere, or saw in a documentary, that this song was considered by some in the officer class to be undermining morale and should have been banned. Or that people caught singing it would be punished. But I don’t know if they ever went through with a ban.

    • @oldgitsknowstuff
      @oldgitsknowstuff Год назад +8

      You don't know why they are digging.....Its supposed to represent the Dead after the first day of the Battle of the Somme (July 1st 1916) British and Commonwealth troops lost 20,000 dead... before dinner time. Plus another 36,000 injured.
      The scene continues with.. 'Right, that's the lot then' and the diggers saunter off to the tune of 'The Bells of Hell go ding-aling aling.
      You should watch the film... give it a whirl. Respects.
