The Captive Sailor

Just watching the 10 O'clock news and the report about the HMS Cornwall fiasco. Does anyone have a link to the Army song that was used in the clip?

For those that have not seen the news item, sung along to the tune of "What shall we do with the drunken sailor?"

What shall we do with the captive sailor ...... dah dah dah
Take away his iPod and make him blubber .... etc

I believe that the song had its origins on Arrse (where else...?) for a spot of banter at the Army vs Navy match.

The thread you want is here.
For those of a touchy feely disposition, I should point out that the link leads to an MS Word Doc which contains two songs, and the naughty army chaps make a disparagingly stereotypical observation about the sort of headgear favoured in Iran and the Middle East in the second one. So don't say you weren't warned, OK?
