It was night when the ship pulled ashore
To collect the comrades of war

When a man, my old man's old man

Spied a dame that
lit up his heart with a bang

that And night, that night

That moon shone about
As bright as it could shine
Those stars climbed about
As high as they could climb
They knew something strange was going on

When the man who was Stan,
Saw the dame by the name of Joan

But he****ce was soon lost in the crowd

Morning came and that chance was drowned

At his post he moped then leapt when he saw
She'd be there to share the whole of the war

And that night, that night

That moon shone about
As bright as it could shine
Those stars climbed about
As high as they could climb
They knew something strange was going on

When the man who was Stan,
met the dame by the name of Joan

In a frame on a shelf in the lounge
They look old, black and white, buttoned down
You forget that they lived,

And they ripped, and they roared
