Lawrence, Part the Second, On Alert

He’s been listening to the news, All up to date about I-raq, His kit has been laid out Sorted and ready to pack. The camel’s on combat rations So its mood is just a little mean But it’s a trim and fit and ready Desert transport machine. He sleeps out in the garden In an army surplus tent It may be second hand but Its money so well spent. It’s all in cam colours Insipid and quite bland So to fit in with the others In the hot desert sand. He’s informed Buck Palace And Tonee the Vee Pee, He’s planned for the occasion And kept some holidays free. Once the summons comes That very same day Lawrence of Neasden Can be off on his way, To fight for Queen and Country, Old Tonee and Georgie Bush, He knows he’s not heard back yet, His offer’s been kept very hush, But come the day Come the need Lawrence and his camel Will carry out the deed, And lo and behold It shall come to pass Lawrence and his Camel Will help save ol' Tonee's ass.
