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
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
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
