Oh! Its a Lovely War.

 

(Repeat a thousand times. Repetez. Wiederholen!)

The song "Oh! It's a Lovely War" was written by J. P. Long and Maurice Scott in 1917.

Up to your waist in water,

Up to your eyes in slush -

Using the kind of language,

That makes the sergeant blush;

Who wouldn't join the army?

That's what we all inquire,

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 is gone

We feel just as heavy as lead,

But we never get up till the sergeant brings

Our breakfast up to bed

Oh! Oh! Oh! it's a lovely war,

What do we want with eggs and ham

When we've got plum and apple jam?

Form fours! Right turn!

How shall we spend the money we earn?

Oh! Oh! Oh! it's a lovely war.
