Point your browser to http://visitweb.com/memories and you will find plenty. Songs.... well, I can remember quite a few, but don't feel like sitting here for hours typing them out. If you go to the askjeeves.com search engine and ask for "wartime songs" you'll get lots of titles, but no words. So here are two for you off the top of my head -- anyone over sixty will know the tunes:-- This is the Army Mr Jones No private rooms or telephones You had your breakfast in bed before But you won't get it there any more. Do as the bugler commands He's in the Army and not in a band This is the Army Mr Brown You and your baby went to town She had you worried, but this is war And she won't worry you any more. --------------- Kiss me goodnight Sergeant-Major Tuck me in my little wooden bed We all love you Sergeant-Major Even when your neck grows rather red Don't forget to wake me in the morning And bring me up a nice hot cup of tea Kiss me goodnight Sergeant-Major Sergeant-Major be a mother to me =================== Tom Holloway tom.holloway@u3a.org.uk Tel: (+44) (0) 1926-771772 Fax: (+44) (0) 1926-771707
