Lyrics Oh! What a Lovely War - Colonel Bagshot

Oh! What a Lovely War

It was an august morning on the western front
And the grass was the only thing moving 'cept the wind blown trumpet
In the hand of a dead man
Died like a virgin as it never had a chance to make a sound
Siggy Thompson’s photo of the wife and kids was taken from the father who was
blown to bits is that a hero’s death
Well tell him now as he might not fell like joining
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Daddy’s head resting in a strawberry bed.
What price his medal
When it’s piecerd by lead
For what General said and the pension clerk shows a cold smile
While you’re waiting
Ten thousand men died here today in mud with rats and sandbags were the only
friend to those men in the end
What goods a poppy if your six months dying
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
It was an August morning 1942, young
Thompson was a member
Of a gun crew
Like the dad he never knew
It’s all so bloody stupid like a deat- wish
Born for dying
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Oh!
what a lovely war, what was it for
Let’s have another one
Let’s have another one
Let’s have another one
Let’s have another one
JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE!
