We're going to 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 [bad word] along without a care.
We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
If the Siegfried Line's still there.

Mother dear I'm writing you from somewhere in France,
Hoping to find you well,
Sergeant says I'm doing fine, a soldier and a pal
Here's a song that we don't sing, this'll make you laugh.

We're going to 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 [bad word] along without a care.
We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
If the Siegfried Line's still there.
