R.D.P

I was walking thru’ the Dockyard one morning bright and fair

When a matlot came towards me He had long and shaggy hair

And he looked for all the world As though he didn’t have a care

And he said why are you looking at me

I said see you in your uniform you really look a scruff

He said See me in me civvies mate I really look the stuff,

And when I put me Brut on I smell just like a pouff

I’m a smoothie from R.N.B.

I^’ve been to Honolulu and I^’ve been to Tokyo

I’ve been to San Francisco; most any place you know

I’ve had my nine years in the Navy and its just three days to go

RAM IT…… I’M R.D.P

There’ll be no more get your hair cuts or standing out in rows

No more duty watches no more RPO’s

No killicks, pigs or PTI’s cos they get my nose

RAM IT…… I’M R.D.P

As returned my pussers dirk I’ll feel at quite a loss

Two blue suits and steaming boots and now I’ll count the cost

But I’LL stand outside the barrack and make rude signs at the ‘Joss’

RAM IT…… I’M R.D.P

I’ve trapped polar bears in Iceland, Film stars down in Nice

Grizzly bears in Canada, and snapper’s in the Fleece

But now it’s almost over, its two days to release,

RAM IT…… I’M R.D.P

I’ve done my share of punishment, I’ve sweated in the sun

I’ve had nines and fives and DQ’s, but now it’s almost done

Some silly Ba**ard asked me to sign on

RAM IT…… I’M R.D.P

And now I’ve stood here talking, it’s really long enough

I’ve got to get to barracks mate, I’ve got to pack my stuff

But maybe I’ll be back again if Civvie Street gets rough

SO..RAM IT MATE…… I’M R.D.P
