All the guns are silent on the Western Wall
And we clean the rifles that we never use at all
And we're writing letters just to pass the time
And the days go by
On the Siegfried Line
Oh, they say the English have given up the war
And we heard the Russians won't last through ‘44
But a longtime soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old
On the Siegfried Line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will be home in the summer, no, no
Oh we light the campfire and we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate and we drink French wine
And they feed us well
On the Siegfried Line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will come home in the summer, la, la, la
And we clean the rifles that we never use at all
And we're writing letters just to pass the time
And the days go by
On the Siegfried Line
Oh, they say the English have given up the war
And we heard the Russians won't last through ‘44
But a longtime soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old
On the Siegfried Line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will be home in the summer, no, no
Oh we light the campfire and we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate and we drink French wine
And they feed us well
On the Siegfried Line
Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh
Home, home, we will come home in the summer, la, la, la
