GI Brides of World War II

The Englishman’s LamentWe dreaded invasion, and it came But no it’s not the beastly Hun The gawdam Yankee army came. You’ll find them on the tram or bus There isn’t room for both of us We walk and let them have our seats Then get run over by their Jeeps. They laugh at us for drinking beer They say our beers warm over here But after drinking 2 or more You’ll find them lying on the floor. And you should see them try to dance. They find a partner, start to prance. When we’re half dead, they stop and smile How’m I doin Honey Chile? Alas they haven’t fought the Hun No glorious battles, they have won That pretty ribbon just denotes They’ve crossed the sea Brave men in boats In a different town, in a different place To a different girl, and a different face. I love you darling, please be mine It’s the same old Yank and the same of line. ANOM (There were many variations of this but this is all I can remember. ) |
