I Booze Brothers ne hanno fatto una versione USA con il titolo...
UNISCITI ALL'ESERCITO INGLESE

Quando ero giovane ero di bell'aspetto,
come pochi se ne vedono
finché il principe del Galles mi disse
‘Vieni ed unisciti all’esercito inglese’

Quando ero giovane avevo
la smania di tirare cazzotti
e pensai che potevo iscrivermi
e arruolarmi nell’esercito inglese

Toora loora loora loo
sembrano delle scimmie dello zoo
“Se avessi la vostra faccia,
mi unirei all’esercito inglese!”.

Sara Camdon preparò il dolce
fu tutto per l’amore del povero vecchio Slattery
mi gettò nel lago
immaginando che fossi pazzo

Caporale Duff ha una sete terribile
dategli solo un paio di bicchieri di stout
e sconfiggerà il nemico a morsi
per salvare l’esercito inglese

Too ra loo ra loo ra loo,
maledetti i Laburisti
hanno portato via il vostro amato ragazzo
che si è aruolato nell’esercito inglese
US ARMY

When I was young I used to be,
A finer man who e'er ya see,
Then President Bush came up to me,
Join the US Army

Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo,
They're lookin for monkeys up the zoo,
Says I if Id have a face like you,
I'd join the US Army

Sarah Conner baked a cake,
It's all for poor slattery's sake,
She threw meself into the lake,
Pretendin' I was barmy,

Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo,
I've made me mind with what to do,
I'll work me ticket home to you,
And f*ck The US Army,

When I lived on to fight away,
Her wife got in the family way,
The only thing that she could say,
Was blame the US Army,

Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo,
Me curse upon the labour blue,
That took my darlin boy from me,
To join the US Army,

Sarah Palin(1) buy her way,
...................
........................
To save the US Army

Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo,
I'd made up me mind on what to do,
I'll work my ticket home to you,
And f*ck the US Army,

When I was young I had a twist,
For punchin raqi's with me fist,
Though I thought I might enlist,
And join the US Army,

Ta-loo ra-loo ra-loo ra-loo,
I'd made up me mind on what to do,
I'll work my ticket home to you,
And f*ck the US Army,
NOTE

1) credo di riferiscano a Sarah Louise Heath coniugata Palin diventata governatrice dell’Alaska nel 2006 non riesco però a comprendere le parole della strofa (chi capisce quello che dicono?)
