we' ll take allour corporals and make themstand our guard x 3

we' ll take allour corporals and make themstand our guard x 3 when the red revolution starts
chorus;
free beer for all the nashos x 3, when the red revolution starts
we' ll take all the sgts and we' ll march them round the ring x 3
we' ll get all the officers and make them clean our boots
our sgt major needs a bayonet up the ass.
the last verse was recorded by paul pulis of kurramine beach, qld who sang it in rvn while serving on 1 bn's 1st tour.
 the bulk of the song was sung by brian ritchie of wollar, nsw, who learned it while in the air force during the korean war --briansaid that whentheir officers heard them singing this song,
they approached the airmen andsuggested that since they were engagedin a war against the communists perhaps they might change 'red' revolution to 'great' revolution' ---they did!.
 paul said he didn'tremember any of the rest of the song, not even the chorus.
 I have not recorded this from any other vietnam veteran sing this song, but I suspect I'll record other vietnam veterans singing a more complete version than pauls.
 m the song is a parody of john browns body and free beer for the wharfies.
