Salonika |
| Me husband’s in Salonika, I wonder if he’s dead |
| I wonder if he knows he’s got a kid with a foxy head |
| So right away, so right away, |
| So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy |
| Now when the war is over, what will the slackers do |
| They’ll be all around the soldiers for the loan of a bob or two |
| So right away, so right away, |
| So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy |
| Now when the war is over, what will the soldiers do |
| They’ll be walking around on a leg and a half |
| And the slackers they’ll have two |
| So right away, so right away, |
| So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy |
| They taxed our pound of butter; |
| they taxed our half-penny bun, |
| But still with all their taxes they can’t beat the bloody Hun |
| So right away, so right away, |
| So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy |
| They taxed the Coliseum; |
| they taxed St. Mary’s Hall |
| Why don’t they tax the Bobbies with their backs against the wall |
| So right away, so right away, |
| So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy |
| Now when the war is over, what will the slackers do |
| For every kid in America in there will be two |
| So right away, so right away, |
| So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy |
