Bankers and diplomats
And old peace song is in my head lately, “The Bankers and the Diplomats”.
Oh, the bankers and the diplomats are going in the army:
Oh, happy day, I'd spend my pay to see them on parade,
Their paunches at attention and their stri-ped pants at ease -
They've gotten patriotic and they're going overseas.
We'll have to do the best we can and bravely carry on,
So we'll just keep the laddies here to manage while they're gone.
I’d love to have a recording of someone singing it.
