Lyrics
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?
Refrain
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
Sung here by Vancha March:
