Sitting in a trench - all rent free.
The Ritz it ain't...but the actions here.
We came for the fun,
How could anyone turn their head away?
What a destination!
My father told me "Son, don't run away.
A man of war is what the men were meant to be.
Just keep your head down, boy."
You're back home working but look at me -
I got run down but I'm here for the holiday.
When the sun shines down
It can take your breath away.
What a situation!
And oh...the games we play...
But you can't hit me.
I'm standing right behind you - I don't need to hide.
Just keep your head down, boy.
What a holiday!
We won't let dying take our fun away.
We won't let dying take our fun away.
Come see the world.
A soldier's life is filled with backstreet girls.
We play the games to pass the time away.
There's no life like it anywhere...
It's all that it could be
And its all for free.
Side by side and by and by we'll chase them all away.
Just keep your head down, boy.
What a holiday!
We won't let dying take our fun away.
We won't let dying take our fun away.
