Lyric She s Got Medals

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
