A More Constructive Use Of Leisure Time

 

Allies beat Axes so pack up your bagses  

Doctor’s advice nothing more than nothing more

I don’t like flora I don’t like fauna

But it’s a change from the battles and the gore

 

Still I hope a more constructive use of leisure time

Offers some excitement

Like the times we had around the Maginot Line

That was entertainment

But Allies beat Axes so pack up your bagses  

Doctor’s advice nothing more than nothing more

 

Want to go bowling, strumming or strolling

Start a collection of stamps or grow a tree

Your taste is jaded once you’ve paraded

Past cross that know you’re the ones who set them free

 

Still I hope a more constructive use of leisure time

Would offer some excitement

Like the times we had when we all crossed the Rhine

That was entertainment

 

But we’ll never sing again

Songs meant to stir all the hearts of the fighters

Now that we’re all good friends

We’ll never sing again

Tunes that gave life to the laziest soldier

And made naval nurses burn

Songs meant to stir all the hearts of the fighters

Now that we’re all good friends

And we’ll never sing again

Tunes that gave life to the laziest soldier

And made naval nurses burn

 

And we’ll never sing again

We’ll never sing again
