Half the front's out there, half- buried
we freeze and pray for Spring
Fill my lungs till victory or food arrives"
What else can we do out here but sing?
Sixteen years and never been kissed
Jumped the queue and the waiting list
Civvy suit's and new recruit's
Clean your rifle, polish your boots
Learn to give the correct salute
Singing out the days singing
Singing singing, singing out the days
Singing, singing out the days
Lice and rats along the trench
Coffin nails to cover the stench
For thirty weeks we hold the line
While all the toffs get reassigned
Singing out the days singing
Singing singing, singing out the days
Singing, singing out the days
Song s for drowning out the shells
Songs to prove you're alive and well
Songs for our humanity in
To demonstrate your sanity
Singing out the days singing
Singing singing, singing out the days
Singing, singing out the days
