Just A Blue Serge Suit 1945 Berlin JPitt-Payne

The shooting is over
'cross the foam
and Johnny will soon
be marching home.
Johnny has won,
laid down his gun.
What does he ask for
now that his job is done?

Just a blue serge suit
and a bright new necktie,
a room of his own
with a door.
Just a bed with sheets
and a home cooked dinner,
that's what he's been fighting for.
Don't ask him questions
for he's not talking,
all that he wants to do
is go out walking
in a blue serge suit
and a peaceful mind
with the girl he left behind.

Just a blue serge suit
and a bright new necktie,
a room of his own
with a door.
Just a bed with sheets
and a home cooked dinner,
that's what he's been fighting for.
Don't ask him questions
for he's not talking,
all that he wants to do
is go out walking
in a blue serge suit
and a peaceful mind
with the girl he left behind.
