| D Day Dodgers |
| D-Day Dodgers. An apocryphal story that Lady Astor accused the British Forces in Italy of being “D-Day Dodgers was widely circulated. This song was a non-apocryphal response! We are the D-Day Dogers way off in Italy Always on the vino always on the spree Eight Army scroungers and their tanks We live in Rome among the Yanks We are the D-Day Dodgers, way out in Italy We landed in Salerno a holiday with pay The Jerries brought the bands out to greet us on the way Showed us the sights and gave us tea We all sang songs the beer was free To welcome D-Day Dodgers to sunny Italy Naples and Casino were taken in our stride We didn’t go to fight we went just for the ride Anzio and Sangro were just names We only went to look for dames The artful D-Day Dodgers way out in Italy Dear Lady Astor you think you’re mighty hot Standing on the platform talking Tommyrot You're England's sweetheart and her pride We think your mouth’s too bloody wide That’s from the D-Day Dodgers in sunny Italy Look around the mountains in the mud and rain You’ll find the scattered crosses some that have no name Heartbreak and toil and suffering done The boys beneath them slumber on They are the D-Day Dodgers who stay in Italy |
