There were rats, rats, big as bloody cats
In the store, in the store
There were rats, rats, big as bloody cats
In the Quartermaster's stores

My eyes are dim, I cannot see
I have not brought my specs with me
I have not brought my specs with me

There was beer, beer, to bring us all good cheer
In the store, in the store
There was beer, beer, to bring us all good cheer
In the Quartermaster's store

There was cheese, cheese, rotting, stinking cheese
In the store, in the store
There was cheese, cheese, rotting, stinking cheese
In the Quartermaster's store

There was bread, bread, heavy as lumps of lead
There was whisky, whisky, the stuff that makes you frisky
There were socks, socks, filthy, smelly socks
There were tents, tents, full of holes and rents
There was rice, rice, full of bugs and lice
There were flies,flies, eating all the pies
In the Quartermaster's store

Brings back memories. The Shadows "Apache" was the first record I bought. :1orglaugh

Might have been before my time perhaps?

heh now i don't even know where I heard that song as a kid - seemed like a summer camp song to me. i guess its roots are an English military song.

soon as i saw this new skin i just started humming 'my eyes are dim i cannot see i have not brought my specs with me' - memory is an amazing thing - i haven't thought of that song probably in 20 years.

definitely before your time and even my time - and i think it must be a British and its Commonwealth thing too now I see where the song came from.

now i think it's a song my dad sang to me when i was a kid.
