The Quartermaster Corps
(also known as "Quartermaster's Store")
This is a 'traditional' song in the army and may scout camps, though
some of the rhymes are changed to more suitable ones for the audience.
It's the beer, beer, beer that makes you feel so queer
In the corps, in the corps.
It's the beer, beer, beer that makes you feel so queer
In the Quartermaster Corps.
chorus:
Mine eyes are dim, I cannot see
I have not brought my specs with me (with me)
I have (hup!) not (ho!) brought my specs with me (with me).
It's the brandy, brandy, brandy that makes you feel so dandy etc...
It's the whiskey that makes you feel so frisky
It's the rum that puts you on the bum
It's the water that makes you think you oughta
It's the lack of sex that makes us nervous wrecks
It's the cheese that brings
you to your knees
It's the tea - but not for you and me
It's the rats - in bowlder hays and spats
