Speranza
1914
and when I told them how beautiful you were
they didn’t believe me your eyes your hair
is in a class beyond compare.
From: “The Girl from Utah”
and when they ask us, how dangerous it was,
o we'll never tell them, no, we'll never tell them:
we spent our pay in some cafe,
and fought wild women night and day,
'twas the cushiest job we ever had.
and when they ask us, and they're certainly going to ask us,
the reason why we didn't win the Croix de Guerre,
o we'll never tell them, oh, we'll never tell them
there was a front, but damned if we knew where.
