Lyrics Out in the Middle East - George Formby
A
fellow
in
the
forces
was
writing
a
letter
From
somewhere
in
the
East,
talk
of
a
blinking
feast
He
said
"It′s
just
like
Blackpool
sands,
we
play
with
hand
grenades
If
we
had
known
we
would
have
brought
along
our
buckets
and
spades
Out
in
the
Middle
East
you
can
have
a
lot
of
fun
Out
in
the
Middle
East
by
the
Mediterranean
Join
the
forces,
they
used
to
say,
and
see
the
world
it
sounds
O.K
But
you
see
now't
but
sand
all
day,
Out
in
the
Middle
East
And
when
you′re
hungry,
they
never
serve
you
up
some
hot-pot
You
never
get
a
gentle
breeze
a-blowing
round
your
what-knot
On
your
heads
you've
hats
like
saucepan
lids
You
take
off
your
well
I
never
did's
It
gets
a
bit
hot
round
the
pyramids
Out
in
the
Middle
East
Out
in
the
Middle
East
you
can
have
a
lot
of
fun
Out
in
the
Middle
East
by
the
Mediterranean
The
ladies
don′t
wear
too
much
gear,
it′s
much
too
hot
for
that
I
fear
You
ought
to
see
what
we
see
here,
Out
in
the
Middle
East
And
our
old
sergeant,
a
little
lad
who
comes
from
Preston
You'll
hear
him
singing
"Bless
′em
all"
with
nothing
but
his
vest
on
Our
fat
old
cookie,
Corporal
Platt,
is
now
as
thin
as
a
cricket
bat
The
sun
got
at
his
lump
of
fat,
Out
in
the
Middle
East
Out
in
the
Middle
East
you
can
have
a
lot
of
fun
Out
in
the
Middle
East
by
the
Mediterranean
The
Tattooed
lady,
what
a
gal,
she
lives
down
by
the
Suez
Canal
For
twopence
she'll
show
you
the
Taj-Ma-hal,
out
in
the
Middle
East
That
girl
is
tattooed
all
over
for
your
close
inspection
The
officers
say
"Gad
sir,
what
a
nice
schoolgirl
complexion"
On
her
chest
there
Winston
can
be
Found
and,
if
you
care
to
look
around
There′s
Goering's
mug
where
she
sits
down,"Out
in
the
Middle
East
