We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘Cause the washing day is here.
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If that Siegfried Line's still there!
Mother dear, I'm writing you from somewhere in France,
Hoping this finds you well.
Sergeant says I'm doing fine, a soldier and a half,
Here's a song that we'll all sing, this'll make laugh!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘Cause the washing day is here.
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If that Siegfried Line's still there!

Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If that Siegfried Line's still there!
