  • This 1977 song was set to the music of “It’s a long way to Tipperary”. The song both expressed, in humorous form, the physical distance to Mukumbura from other parts of the country while also celebrating the contributions made by different branches of the Rhodesian armed forces to the Rhodesian Bush War.

    I know this song is already very widespread across RUclips but i felt that the other lyric videos of this song weren't very high quality, so i made my own. And no, this is not a repost, dunno why that guy said so but i made this video from the ground up and this is the first time i released it.
    Lyrics:
    It's a long way to Mukumbura
    It's a long way to jol
    It's a long way from your hometown
    But you can have yourselves a ball
    With your muckers
    Goodbye Bulawayo, tot siens Cecil Square
    It's a long, long way to Mukumbura And we're going up there to stir
    It's a long way to JOC Inyanga
    It's a long way, ek se
    It's a long way from Umtali
    But it's wide tar all the way
    Well, nearly
    Goodbye to the Cecil
    Hello the Mont Claire
    It's a long, long way to JOC Inyanga
    And the trout is biting there
    It's a long way to Kariba
    It's a long way to run
    It's a long way from Makuti
    But you can do it on your THUMB
    With your FN
    We love our Sergeant Major, when he drives an RL
    When he takes it on those bush roads, It's just like going to
    Heaven, I'm in Heaven
    It's a long way to Llewelyn
    It's a long way on the train
    We could gooi it to the North Pole, But they'd build one just the same with the parade square
    We all dig the starpies, haircuts and the graze
    And if we really scheme it's lekker when we start on our first phase
    For the Mortars
    Action, disarm look again
    They're so loud
    For the Blues
    Changa to echo base
    Homing call required over
    Chopper come home, chopper come home
    For the Instructors
    One check your rear aperture
    Two move your working force to the rear
    For the Greys
    You fool private the tails at the back
    For Signals
    Hello two this is one over
    Hello, one this is one too are you one two?
    For the Medics
    This water cannot be drunk until it has been passed by the M.O
    For the Cops
    No madam that’s not what we use V-cars for
    You want the pest control vehicle
    For the RWS
    Ah, Becky, I can't make up my mind
    Whether to wear the green or blue eyeshadow
    To weapons training today
    For INTAF
    Now you chaps are expected to be keeping this keep
    As it should be kept
    The keep does not keep itself
    For the Engineers
    That’s not a flocculent
    You idiot that’s the soap powder
    It's a long way to Mukumbura
    It's a long way to jol
    It's a long way from your home town
    But you can have yourselves a ball
    With your muckers
    Goodbye Bulawayo, tot siens Cecil Square
    It's a long, long way to Mukumbura
    And we're going up there to stir
    Stir
    Stir
    Ensure
    Stir
    Ensure
    Stir
    Ensure
    Stir
    Ensure
