Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief 
 
 Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
 
 Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
 
 But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes 
 
  
  Then sound the charge breath your final breath
 
 And charge into the valley of death
 
 Cannon to the left and cannon to the right
 
 They'll go bang bang bang all night 
  
 
 We'll fight them on the beaches
 
 Yes, we'll fill 'em full of lead
 
 Fighting naked in the open air
 
 We'll fight them in the kitchen, in the bathroom in the garden shed
 
 Fighting the good fight any-fighting-where 
  
 
 So sound the charge breathe your final breath
 
 And charge into the valley of death
 
 Cannon to the left and cannon to the right
 
 They'll go bang bang bang all night
 
 There'll be a cannon to the left and cannon to the right
 
 They'll go bang bang bang bang bang bang bang all night... 
  
 
 "Baby baby, I love the way you talk sense to me
 
 Especially when you say 'Neil, you got love'
 
 I hear what you're saying...
 
 I have in my hand a piece of paper that says
 
 "Let's make lurrve, not this phoney war-thang"
 
 We goin' over the top -
 
 But you're so sexy when you're angry, honey-chile" 
  
 
 "Roamin' around in no man's land, gettin' caught in your barbed wire
 
 Baby baby, gonna set your village on fire..." 
  
 
 CHARGE I'm gonna hit you where it hurts
 
 CHARGE So sound the red alert!
 
 There'll be a cannon to the left...
 
 ...And a cannon to the right...
 
 (The hills are alive with the sound of)
 
 BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
 
 BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
 
 BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
 
 All night!
