Colonel Bogey March - Piano Tutorial

I seem to recall some pretty good lyrics for this...

Learn how to play the Colonel Bogey March by F. J. Ricketts on piano with this Synthesia piano tutorial! Please enjoy!

Composed by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts, the Colonel Bogey March is a famous march tune that we have arranged for piano. Ricketts wrote the tune based on the curious whistle that a military man and golfer used instead of shouting "Fore!". The whistle was a descending minor third, which can be heard at the beginning of each phrase in the Colonel Bogey March.

Malcolm Arnold added a counter-march called The River Kwai March, used in the film The Bridge on the River Kwai. The two marches are often confused, especially as Colonel Bogey is also used in the film.

This piano arrangement of the Colonel Bogey March is fantastic to play! You can learn it with our Synthesia piano tutorial, or from our official Sheet Music Boss sheet music at the top of the description!

"The enemy wants us to build some random bridge over some river. Just out of spite, we are gonna build them the best damn bridge out of logs and Bamboo; then, proceed to blow it up!" -Captured British Soldier somewhere in Burma

Lyrics:
Hitler, has only got one ball
Göring, has two but very small
Himmler is rather similar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all

[HTPCYMC]

Not a lot of soldiers are able to march and play this song on the piano at the same time. Those who are able to pull it off are considered absolute legends.

Suddenly I have an urge to build a bridge in the middle of the forest, thanks SMB

[joshtimmins]

Falls on detonator





Bridge exploded

Classic march, I have the WW2 lyrics stuck in my head

[StickMaster]

Is this the song the Bogeyman listened to when he was a private in the army?

[FortressSteve]

Hitler has only got one ball
Goering has two but very small.
Himmler had something similar.
And poor old Goebels has no Balls at all.
Greetings from Germany ^^

Conquering a synthetic piano I see. The empire is making a comeback in the digital age.

[ToaOnichu]

In *my* childhood, the lyrics were as follows:


Comet! It tastes like gasoline!
Comet! It makes your teeth turn green!
Comet! It makes you vomit!
So drink some Comet and vomit today!

[acommonsoldier]

Ah, a classic from long ago. How about It’s a Long Way to Tipperary? Or Pack up your Troubles? The Caisson song? Anchors Aweigh? For the Fourth of July you all should do the Armed Forces Medley!
