You should see me out in France wearing my tin hat With shot and shell it's worse than – well it's even worse than that Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine French girls make a fuss of me I'm not French as you can see But I know what they mean when they say "oui, oui" Down on the Maginot Line Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine The enemy we had to chase But my gun got out of place I went and shot the Colonel in the base Down on the Maginot Line (Ukulele Break) Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine At night, myself to sleep I sing To my old tin hat I cling I have to use it now for everything Down on the Maginot Line Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine Suddenly a pain I felt A doctor on my tummy knelt He slapped a poultice underneath my belt Right on the Maginot Line (Ukulele Break) Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine Hitler can't kid us a lot His secret weapon's tommyrot But you ought to see what the sergeant's got Down on the Maginot Line, Down on the Maginot Line.
