Oh! It’s A Lovely War Various Artists

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

Up to your waist in water
Up to your eyes in slush
Using the kind of language
That makеs the sergeant blush
Who wouldn't join thе army?
That's what we all inquire
Don't we pity the poor civilian sitting beside the fire?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's a lovely war
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's a lovely war
