Various Artists - I'll Make a Man of You

{Music Hall Star}
The Army and the Navy need attention
The outlook isn't healthy, you'll admit
But I've a perfect dream of a new recruiting scheme
Which I think is absolutely it

If only other girls would do as I do
I believe that we could manage it alone
For I turn all suitors from me, but the Sailor and the Tommy
I've an Army and a Navy of my own

On Sunday I walk out with a Soldier
Monday I'm taken by a Tar
Tuesday I'm out with a baby Boy Scout
On Wednesday a Hussar
On Thursday I gang out wi' a Scottie
On Friday the Captain of the crew
But on Saturday I'm wiling, in you'll only take the shilling
To make a man of any one of you!

I teach the tenderfoot to face the powder
That gives an added lustre to my skin
And I show the raw recruit how to give a chaste salute
So when I'm presenting arms, he's falling in

It makes you almost proud to be a woman
When you make a strapping soldier of a kid
And he says, 'You put me through it and I didn't want to do it
But you went and made me love you, so I did!'

{with Chorus Girls}
On Sunday I walk out with a Bosun
On Monday a Rifleman in green
On Tuesday I choose a Sub in the Blues
On Wednesday a Marine
On Thursday a Terrier from Tooting
On Friday and Midshipman or two
But on Saturday I'm willing, if you'll only take the shilling
To make a man of any one of you!

{Music Hall Star, spoken}
*Come on, lads, we need a million!*

{Chorus Girl}
*A million!*

{Music Hall Star}
*Be a man, enlist today!*

{Chorus girl}
*Enlist today!*

{Music Hall Star}
*Have you a lad digging your garden when he should be digging trenches?*

{Chorus girl}
*He should be digging trenches!*

{Music Hall Star}
*Are there any able-bodied men in the house?*
For on Saturday I'm willing, if you'll only take the shilling

{with Chorus Girls}
To make a man of any one of you!
