lirik lagu 1990 studio cast of strike up the band - oh, this is such a lovely war
[soldiers]
sitting, sitting
busy with our knitting
as the day goes flitting by
comfy, cozy
life is never prosy
underneath a rosy sky
this war’s so delightful, it isn’t quite rightful
that we shouldn’t think of those way back home
and what could be better than knitting a sweater
for those sad ones who have to stay back home?
stitching, stitching
handiwork bewitching
that’s what we’ve been itching for
we assever
we could stay forever
and the place would never bore
oh, everything’s luscious, with work they don’t rush us
we only know one disappointment here
until there’s a treaty we can’t send for sweetie
oh, that’s the one fly in the ointment here
[swiss girls]
listen und lend us an ear, soldier
why should a war interfere, soldier?
swiss hospitality’s here, soldier
what is there that we can do?
how can you say that you miss cuties
when you can entertain swiss cuties?
what if you’re longing to kiss cuties?
we can arrange it for you
[soldiers]
oh, this is such a lovely war
whoops, what a lovely war
whoops, what a lovely war
it keeps you out in the open air
oh, this is such a lovely war
whoops, what a lovely war
whoops, what a lovely war
we’re glad that we’re over here over there
[soldiers, variously]
oh boy, we get three meals a day and all our clothing free
at five o’clock the sergeant comes and takes us out for tea
[soldiers]
we can’t be fired because we’ve got a two~year guarantee
oh, isn’t this a lovely war?
oh, this is such a charming war
whoops, what a charming war
whoops, what a charming war
it keeps you out in the open air
oh, this is such a charming war
whoops, what a charming war
whoops, what a charming war
we’re glad that we’re over here over there
[soldiers, variously]
we sleep in downy feather beds, we never see a cot
our contract calls for ice~cream sodas when the weather’s hot
[soldiers]
and very good publicity if ever we get shot
oh, isn’t this a charming war!
