And when they ask us
How dangerous it was
Oh, 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 Croix de Guerre
Oh, we'll never tell them
No, we'll never tell them
There was a front
But damned if we knew where

And they're certainly going to ask us

Oh, we'll never tell them
No, we'll never tell them
