She's Got Medals
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She'd walk through the door
And she'd set up the drinks on the house
She played a good game of darts
And the men slapped her back
And never took her out
She wore a trenchcoat khaki
Her hobnail boots were full of holes
She's got medals
Her mother called her Mary
She changed her name to Tommy
She's a one, oh
She went and joined the army
Passed the medical
Don't ask me how it's done
They sent her to the front line
Fighting for her country's name
She's got medals
She got very tired of picking up girls
Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls
Then the enemy dropped a bomb
Survivors there were none
People say that when the moon is full
And all the stars have gone to bed
You can see her ghost, but that's a lie
Because the naughty woman isn't dead
She deserted on the previous morning
Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green
Called herself Eileen
Came to London town
Now she's settled down
She's got medals
