	2 I joined my corps when twenty-one, Of course I thought it capital fun; When the enemy came, then off I run, I wasn't cut out for the army. When I left home, mama she cried, Mama she cried, mama she cried, When I left home, mama she cried, "He ain't cut out for the army." Spoken. No, she thought I was too young, but then I said, ah! mama, Cho.—I'm Captain Jinks, etc, 3 The first day I went out to drill, The bugle sound made me quite ill; At the balance step, my hat it fell, And that wouldn't do for the army. The officers, they all did shout, They all cried out, they all did shout,	The officers, they all did shout, "Oh, that's the curse of the army." Spoken. Of course my hat DID fall off, but ah! nevertheless, Cho.—I'm Captain Jinks, etc. 4 My tailor's bills came in so fast, Forced me one day to leave at last, And ladies, too, no more did cast Sheep's eyes at me in the army. My creditors at me did shout, At me did shout, at me did shout, My creditors at me did shout, "Why, kick him out of the army." Spoken. I said, ah! gentlemen, ah! kick ME out of the army? perhaps you are not aware that Cho.—I'm Captain Jinks, etc.
