Platitudes, attitudes, just toe the party line. Using platitudes and attitudes you'll find that all is fine. Dress yourself in motley and pursue the soldier hotly, Tell the Colonel that he's right no matter what. Bellow, shout and bark, ensure that sergeants hark So that what needs doing's done before it's dark. The soldier doesn't matter, for he isn't worth the chatter Of career making people just like you. And whenever your in doubt hold a conference - what about? Try the colour of WRAC buttons, that's for you. And if it comes to warfare you can always step aside Because you're ceremonial; rifle drills. And you need feel no embarrassment disturbing you inside, For you are passing on those most important skills. Which are the use of platitudes; commensurate with the attitudes With which good soldiers always do their bit - essentially your view. And when you get your accolade one day whilst standing on parade Know we'lł all know why you are getting it. It will be for your brown nosing, and with the top brass posing, And for soldiering. Mate, we can't compare with you.
