THE PORTABLE BARBER’S SHOP
When the Army starts manoeuvres They don’t know when to stop, They’ve started to manoeuvre With Graham’s barber shop. •* They’ve moved it here and moved it there, But still it isn’t, right, ' And the Colonel’s now surveying To find another site.
The other day they shifted it, And ridiculous as it sounds They put it on a section That was definitely out of bounds. ’Twas just beyond the Q.M.S. By Sammy Woods’ door, But Sammy he objected And they tell me that he swore. So now ’tis due for another move, But we don’t know when and where, And the barber’s getting tired Trying to keep up with his chair. Someone even took his sign, And with it caused much glee. They tacked it on an Officer’s door For everyone to see. ' Still that was just a little prank The boys must have their fun, They often do the very thing That simply isn’t done. So round and round goes the barbe® shop, With the sign above the door, . And probably ’twill finish up Just where it was before.
