As the day goes splitting by
Who have to stay back home
that's what we've been itching for.
We as ever, we could stay forever,
and the place would never bore.
Oh, everything's luscious,
with work they don't rush us,
Until there's a treaty we
Oh, that's the one fly in
Listen, Fort, lend us an ear
Soldier, why should a war interfere?
Soldier, what is there that we can do?
Then you can entertain these cuties
But if you're longing to kiss cuties
We can arrange it for you
Oh, this is such a lovely war
It keeps you out of the open air
Oh, this is such a lovely war
We're glad that we're over here,
Oh boy, we get three meals a day
And all our clothing free
At five o 'clock the sergeant comes
We can't be fired because
We've got a two -year guarantee
Oh, isn't this a lovely war?
Oh, this is such a charming wharf.
It keeps you out in the open air.
Oh, this is such a charming wharf.
We're glad that you're over here,
We sleep it down in feather beds.
Oh, isn't this a charming one?
