The old CO was a merry assed soul,
And a merry assed soul was the old CO,
He called for his wife in the middle of the night,
And he called for his Gunners three
“Beer! Beer! Beer!” said the Gunners

{Chorus}
And what merry, merry men are we!
There is none so fair,
To as compare,
To the 5th Field Batteries
Oi!

And a merry assed soul was the old CO,
He called for his wife in the middle of the night,

And what merry, merry men are we!
There is none so fair,
To as compare,
To the 5th Field Batteries
Oi!

The old CO was a merry assed soul,
And a merry assed soul was the old CO,
He called for his wife in the middle of the night,

And what merry, merry men are we!
There is none so fair,
To as compare,
To the 5th Field Batteries
Oi!

The old CO was a merry assed soul,
And a merry assed soul was the old CO,
He called for his wife in the middle of the night,

And what merry, merry men are we!
There is none so fair,
To as compare,
To the 5th Field Batteries
Oi!

And a merry assed soul was the old CO,
He called for his wife in the middle of the night,
