[Verse 1] Oh, the Munitorum came to town, they said I’d earn my glory, A lasgun and a coat, and a rousing battle story. They said, “You’ll see the stars, and fight the heretic horde,” But all I’ve seen is mud, and a Commissar’s sword! [Chorus] Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, we’re marching ever hardy, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, join the Imperial Army! [Verse 2] They said I’d ride in tanks with banners high before me, But I’m stuck in a trench, and the shells are bursting o’er me. They promised pay and ale, with rations rich and hearty, But I’ve not been paid since Cadia’s last big victory party! [Chorus] Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, the Emperor won’t discard me, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, join the Imperial Army! [Verse 3] They swore I’d sail the void to far-off worlds exotic, Instead I’m here in rain, and the smell is quite chaotic. They said we’d crush the foe and come back home unharmed — But my home’s long gone and my squad’s half-disarmed! [Chorus] Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, no xenos will out-guard me, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, join the Imperial Army! [Verse 4] So if you see a man in gold, who smiles and tries to charm ye, Just turn around and run, lest the Munitorum harm ye. Or else you’ll be like me, just counting days to be free, Till the Emperor calls your soul from this grand misery! [Chorus] Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, faith alone will arm me, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo, join the Imperial Army!
