That fellow is the final shot with a cigarette is Noel Coward of course.

That is a silly title for a video.

Colonel Montmorency who was in Calcutta in ninety-two Emerged from his retirement for the War He wasn't very pleased with all he heard and all he saw But whatever he felt, he tightened his belt and organised a Corps Poor Colonel Montmorency thought considering all the wars he'd faught The Home Guard was his job to do or die But after days and weeks and years, bravely drying his many tears He wrote the following letter to the Minister of Supply Couls you please oblige us with a Bren gun? Or failing that, a hand grenade will do We've got some ammunition, in a rather damp condition And Major Huss has a arquebus that was used at Waterloo With the Vicar's stirrup pump, a pitchfork and a stave It's rather hard to guard an aerodrome So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun The Home Guard might as well go home Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun? We're getting awfully tired of drawing lots Today we had a shipment of some curious equipment And just for a prank, they sent us a tank that ties itself in knots On Sunday's mock invasion, Captain Clark was heard to say He hadn't even got a brush and comb So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun The Home Guard might as well go home Colonel Montmorency planned, in case the enemy tried to land To drive them back with skill and armoured force He realised his army should be mechanised, of course But somewhere inside, experience cried ""My Kingdom for a horse"" Poor Colonel Montmorency tried, at infinite cost to time and pride To tackle his superiors again Having just one motorbike, fourteen swords and a marlin spike He wrote the following letter in the following urgent strain Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun? We need it very badly, I'm afraid Our local crossword solver has an excellent revolver But during a short attack on a fort, the trigger got mislaid In course of operations planned for Friday afternoon Our orders are to storm the Hippodrome So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun The Home Guard might as well go home Could you please oblige us with a Bren gun? The lack of one is wounding to our pride Last night we found the cutest, little German parachutist He looked at our kit and giggled a bit, and laughed until he cried We'll have to hide that armoured car when marching through Berlin We'd almost be ashamed of it in Rome So if you can't oblige us with a Bren gun The Home Guard might as well go home

Did Jean-Yves Labat start a temple with ex King Crimson Drummer Jamie Muir?

This song is so perfect for Dad’s Army when I first heard it I thought it was written specifically for the show

Good old England is never done!

Very psychedelic. Very froggy.

Proof that television back in the day was much more entertaining

Incredible!

Brilliant sitcom Dad's army truly one of the best comedy series of all time much better than the usual tripe rubbish we get!

Absolutely brilliant!

Wonderful. Never seen that before, thank you, loved it

VERY NICE .THANK YOU FOR ULOADING

Col. Montmorency (who Was in Calcutta in '92) Emerged from his retirement for the war. He wasn't very pleased at what he heard, at what he saw, But whatever he felt He tightened his belt And organized a corps. Poor Col. Montmorency thought, Considering all the wars he'd fought, The Home Guard was his job to do or die. But after days and weeks and years, Bravely drying his manly tears, He wrote the following letter to the Minister of Supply: "Would you please oblige us with a Bren Gun? Or failing that, a hand grenade will do. We've got some ammunition In a rather damp condition, And Major Huss Has an arquebus That was used in Waterloo." "With the Vicar's steering pump, a pitchfork and a rake, It's rather hard to guard an aerodrome. So if you can't oblige us with a Bren Gun, The Home Guard might as well go home." "Would you please oblige us with a Bren Gun? We're getting rather tired of drawing lots. Today, we had a shipment Of some curious equipment, And just for a prank, They sent us a tank That ties itself in knots." "On Monday's mock invasion Captain Clark was heard to say He hadn't even got a brush or comb. So if you can't oblige us with a Bren Gun, The Home Guard might as well go home." Col. Montmorency planned In case the enemy tried to land To fleet them back by skill of armored force. He realized his army should be mechanized, of course, But somewhere inside Experience cried "My kingdom for a horse." Poor Col. Montmorency tried At infinite cost of time and pride To tackle his superiors again. But having just one motorbike, Fourteen swords and a marlinspike, He wrote the following letter in the following urgent strain: "Would you please oblige us with a Bren Gun? We need one rather badly, I'm afraid. Our local crossword solver Has an excellent revolver, But during a short Attack on a fort The trigger got mislaid." "In course of operations meant for Friday afternoon, Our orders are to storm the Hippodrome. So if you can't oblige us with a Bren Gun, The Home Guard might as well go home."

We'd almost be ashamed of it in Rome. So if you can't oblige us with a Bren Gun, The Home Guard might as well, The Home Guard might as well, The Home Guard might as well go home."

Completely brillant.Perfect performance

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Brilliant haven’t heard this before

I LOVE the frog art! Is any of it originally yours? I'm looking for a good artist for a book

What's wrong with people?!!? THIS WAS and STILL IS MY MOST FAVORITE ALBUM EVER EVER!!!! Thanks for having it here 😘!!!

Wonderful, thank you.

I wish someone would oblige me with a bren gun!

Real Talent here on Dad's Army

Wow! Am glad I saw this! I've watched all their episodes but never seen them sing. Funny that. My husband always stand like Wilson and I tease him about it all the time. We both love the show. Thanks for posting this. Lovely!

How many of you started humming "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" at 2:27, because I definitely 100% absolutely didn't.

This is wonderful. I could go for a full length Dad's Army musical - but only with the original cast of course.

I love Dad's Army I met Frank Williams who played the Vicar in Dad's Army He kindly signed some Dad's Army Books for me At the London Film Convention I go to

The chap on the right in the beginning painting looked a little bit like Hogers.

Wainwaring was a pompous man but he had a good heart

Surprised James Beck as Walker not included as he could sing too

REAL talents on display here, wonderful!

A masterclass right there

The Victoria Wood bbc programme story of Dads Army brought me here. At the end of the programme it had the final verses of this. I did not know of the song. I just googled the Bren gun lyric and lo there it is. Great fun and giving me some joy in the time of the Covid virus.

god bless em rest in peace gents

Noel Coward (the writer/ composer ofthis song) was a hero in every way possible. He worked in British espionage during WW2. He made films and music in Britain's "darkest / finest hour in 1940- late 41. The time when the UK and her Commonwealth stood alone against the Nazis. It was songs like this that kept the British going when the future looked bleak.

Perhaps the best and funniest World War 2 song ever.

Noel and Dad’s Army - simply delicious

Anyone know what the backing song is?

They have great voices

This is absolutely marvellous! Absolute genius!

Can anyone tell what song/tune this is based of?

I love Dad's Army - and this is absolute genius.

Was just thinking that, with all the comparisons being made at the minute to the war, we have essentially assembled a form of modern 'Home Guard' with retired Doctors and Nurses going back into the National Health Service and they are describing the same lack of essential equipment that this song references. Isn't remarkable how the Architect of time employs the same themes! Fortunately, having won the Battle of Britain, we never faced a full scale invasion and the Home Guard was stood down a year before our final victory. Just as we made it though that dark time we will make it through this one. That Grand Architect who engineered our final victory over evil will bring us out the other side of corona-virus, the better for it. 'May that Almighty Hand guide and uphold us all.' George VI.

Lowe could hold a note.

0:34 Awesome Dad's Army The Original Series Music Video Ever. Thanks Mate. Do You Think Is Wise Sir. X

I’ve just watched every single episode of dads army plus the specials. And this is simply the icing on the cake!!! I love these three and seeing them sing is an absolute treat. Thank you x

Had this in my head for days.

That is brilliant.
