1. Oh me husband's in Salonika, and I wonder if he's dead
And I wonder if he knows he has a kid with a foxy head

So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy
2. When the war is over, what will the slackers do
They'll be all around the soldiers for the loan of a bob or two
So right away, (bis) so right away, (bis)
So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy
3. And when the war is over, what will the soldiers do
They'll be walking around with a leg and a half
And the slackers they'll have two
So right away, (bis) so right away, (bis)
So right away Salonika, right away me soldier boy
4. And they taxed a pound of butter, and they taxed a half-penny bun,
And still with all their taxin' they can't beat the bloody Hun

And a lovely glass back chiffonier, we've got from Dickie Drew

But keep your eye on a Sinn Fein fan with his yellow, white and green
