Er is één Nederlandse website te vinden met mars- en wandelliederen waar ook "Old King Cole" bij staat, in de vorm van een stapellied: http://home.zonnet.nl/h.c.schenkelaars/. Maar de legernaam wordt in die versie niet genoemd.
Op Youtube staat alleen een Amerikaanse uitvoering, zie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtyEUFhzxJs&feature=related

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he. He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his Privates three.
- Keep those Privates straight! Said the Generals
- When can I play golf? Said the Colonel.
- I need a bigger desk said the major.
- Who's gonna drive my Hummer? Said the Captain.
- What do I do now? Said the El Tee.
- Left right left said the Sergeant.
- I need a three day pass said the Corporal
- Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Privates.

old sole was he. He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his basics three.

What merry men are we
For there’s none so fair that they can compare to the
best of the CAP
