The Siegfried Line

Oh, the guns are silent

On the Western wall

And we clean the rifles

That we never use at all

And we're writing letters

Just to pass the time

And the days go by

On the Siegfried Line

Oh, they say the English

Have given up the war

And we heard the Russians

Won't last through '44

But a long-time soldier

Has an open mind

And a man grows old

On the Siegfried Line

Soon, soon

They say the war will be over

Oh, woah

Home, home

We will be home in the summer

No, no

Oh, we line the campfire

And we drink the beer

And we know the flag we fly

Must last a thousand years

And we eat Dutch chocolate

And we drink French wine

And they feed us well

On the Siegfried Line

Soon, soon

They say the war will be over

Oh, woah

Home, home

We will come home in the summer

No, no
