Jimmy Crowley & Stokers Lodge singing Salonika My husband's in Salonika And I wonder if he's dead I wonder if he knows he has A kid with a foxy head Chorus: So right away, so right away So right away, Salonika Right away, my soldier boy Now when the war is over What will the slackers do They'll be all around the soldiers For the loan of a bob or two But when the war is over What will the soldiers do They'll be walking around with a leg-and-a-half And the slackers will have two And they tax their pound o' butter They tax their halfpenny bun But still with all their taxes They can't beat the bloody Hun And they tax th' old Coliseum They tax St Mary's Hall Why don't they tax the bobbies Wi' their backs ag'in' the wall But when the war is over What will the slackers do For every kid in Americay In Cork there will be two For they takes us out to Blarney They lays us on the grass They puts us in the family way And leaves us on our arse There's lino in the parlour And in the kitchen too A glass-backed chevonier That we got from Dicky Glue And before that I got married Sure I used to wear a shawl But now the war is over 'Tis hanging in Jones' pawn And never marry a soldier A sailor or a Marine But keep your eye on the Sinn Fein boy With his yellow, white and green
