Round The Marble Arch - 1932

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 28 Jul 2001

Blow the bugle
And bang the drum,
Go rumtitiddley tumti tum,
For here the conquering heroes come,
The pride and joy of the Army.
See them swaggering up Park Lane,
Into the Park and out again,
They march around the Marble Arch
And back again.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

Ev'ry night on sentry go,
When they are marching to and fro',
They think about the girls
They've left behind them.
But later when they're free to roam,
Where is a Soldier's Home Sweet Home?
Where's the place you're
Always sure to find 'em?

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

When they're on the barrack square,
Making the Sergeant Major swear,
They drive the poor old Col'nel
To distraction.
But when they're on the "LoveParade"
Oh! What a charge of the Night Brigade
Ev'ry son of a gun
Goes into action.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

When there's fighting to be done,
Ev'ry soldier cleans his gun
And says goodbye to England,
Home and Beauty.
But back he comes from o'er the sea,
Back from a glorious victory
And straight away
You'll find him back on duty.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.

Round the Marble Arch,
Round the Marble Arch;
What a glorious sight to see,
All the pick of the infantry,
Around the Marble Arch,
Round and round they march.
They know how to get round the girls,
Round the Marble Arch.
