THE LADS FROM OUR VILLAGE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This war is quite upsetting, o'er the country you'll agree The lads from our village have all gone to war but me The medical authority said I was of no use Because I was too simple. That was their only excuse But I've made up my mind that I'd do something in a way Of national importance and I'm very pleased to say. Chorus: Since the lads of our village have all gone to the war I'm having such a busy time, I never had before I'm never, never idle, for every day you'll find Why, I'm busy courting all the girls the fellows left behind. If you could only see me, it's quite surprised you'd be The lasses are just like a swarm of bees all over me They cuddle me and kiss me and they call me 'Simple John' But still I'm plenty good enough for them to practice on At first I used to feel so shy at making love somehow But since I took this business on, I'm not so bashful now.
