| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Oh Oh Oh Its A Lovely War | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 170 | | | | Lyrics: | Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a Lovely War!
Up to your waist in water,
Up to your eyes in
slush,
Using the kind of language
That makes the sergeants blush;
Who wouldn't join
the army,
That's what we all enquire,
Don't we pity the poor civilians
Sitting beside
the fire ?
Chorus:
Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a lovely war,
Who wouldn't be a soldier,
eh ?
Oh, it's a shame to take the pay.
As soon as reveille has gone
We feel
just as heavy as lead,
But we never get up till the sergeant
Brings our breakfast up to
bed.
What do you want with eggs and ham
When you've got plum and apple jam ?
Form
fours! Right turn!
How shall we spend the money we earn ?
Chorus
When
does a soldier grumble ?
When does a soldier make a fuss ?
No one is more
contented
In all the world than us.
Oh, it's a cushy life, boys,
Really, we love it
so;
Once a fellow was sent on leave
And simply refused to go.
Chorus
Come to the cook-house door, boys,
Sniff at the lovely stew,
Who is it
says the colonel
Gets better grub than you ?
Any complaints this morning?
Do we
complain ? Not we.
What's the matter with lumps of onion
Floating around the tea
?
Chorus
From Shay, Pious Friends and Drunken Companions
