Cette chanson a été écrite par Roger Waters.
Elle est au sujet de la guerre.
David Gilmour joue du kazoo sur ce morceau. Curieusement, l'inventeur du kazoo s'appelait Thaddeus von Clegg, qui porte le même nom que le Caporal Clegg dans la chanson...
He won it in the war, in 1944.
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red, and blue
He found it in the zoo.
Dear, dear were they really sad for me?
Dear, dear will they really laugh at me?
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him.
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin.
Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain
He's never been the same
No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg recieved his medal in a dream
From Her Majesty the queen
His boots were very clean.
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin.
