Don't start me talking
  I could talk all night
  My mind goes sleepwalking
  While I'm putting the world to right
  Called careers information
  Have you got yourself an occupation?
  
  Oliver's army is here to stay
  Oliver's army are on their way
  And I would rather be anywhere else
  But here today
  
  There was a checkpoint Charlie
  He didn't crack a smile
  But it's no laughing party
  When you've been on the murder mile
  
  Only takes one itchy trigger
  One more widow, one less white nigger
  
  (Chorus)
  
  Hong Kong is up for grabs
  London is full of Arabs
  We could be in Palestine
  Overrun by a Chinese line
  With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
  
  But there's no danger
  It's a professional career
  Though it could be arranged
  With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
  
  If you're out of luck or out of work
  We could send you to Johannesburg
