The D-day Dodgers Lyrics by Sods’ Opera

2009

We are the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
Always on the vino
Always on the spree
Eighth Army skivers and the Yanks
We live in Rome and stuff the twanks?
For we are the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
We landed at Salerno
A holiday with pay
Jerry brought a band out
To cheer us on our way
Showed us the sights and gave us tea
We all sang songs, the beer was free
For we are the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
Naples and Cassino
Were taken in our stride
We didn't get to fight there
We just went for the ride
Anzio and Sangro were avast
We did fuck all sat on our arse
For we are the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
On our way to Florence
We had a lovely time
We ran a bus to Rimini
Right through the Gothic Line
Soon to Bologna, we will go
When Jerries fucked off beyond the Po
For we are the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
Once we had a bright light
That we were going home
Back to dear old Blighty
Never more to roam
Then someone whispered: 'In France, you'll fight,'
We said: 'Fuck that, we'll just sit tight,'
For we are the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
Oh Lady Astor
Please listen in to this
Stand up on the platform
And talk a lot of piss
Your the nations sweetheart, the nations pride
But your bloody big mouth is far too wide
From the D-Day Dodgers
Out in Italy
If you look round the mountains
In the mud and rain
You will find the scattered crosses
Some which bear no name
Heartbreak and toil and suffering gone
The lads beneath, them slumber on
For they were the D-Day Dodgers
Who'll stay in Italy
