Soles in suds on the pub floor
\nas the men all talk of war.
\nThey just heard the radio say
\nforty bombers on the way.
\nDrink up, it may be your last.
\nEnemy approaching fast.
\nAll the family’s underground,
\nwaiting for that siren sound.
\nBut these men prefer to drink
\nuntil danger’s on the brink.
\nWar is hell and death is near.
\nBarkeep, give us one more beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
