This helmet, I suppose
Was meant to ward off blows
It's very hot
And weighs a lot
As many a guardsman knows
As many a guardsman knows
As many a guardsman knows
As many a guardsman knows
So off
So off that helmet goes

[SOLDIERS AND GIRLS]
Yes, yes, yes!
So off that helmet goes

[ARAC]
This tight-fitting cuirass
Is but a useless mass
It's made of steel
And weighs a deal
This tight-fitting cuirass
Is but a useless mass
A man is but an ass
Who fights in a cuirass
So off
So off goes that cuirass
[SOLDIERS AND GIRLS]
Yes, yes, yes
So off goes that cuirass

[ARAC]
These brassets, truth to tell
May look uncommon well
But in a fight
They're much too tight
They're like a lobster shell
They're like a lobster shell

[SOLDIERS AND GIRLS]
Yes, yes, yes
They're like a lobster shell

[ARAC]
These things I treat the same
I quite forget their name
They turn one's legs
To cribbage pegs
Their aid I thus disclaim
Their aid I thus disclaim
Though I forget their name
Though I forget their name
Their name
Their aid I thus disclaim
[ALL]
Yes, yes, yes
Their aid we/they thus disclaim
