Refrain 1
Though our country will never make war
We`ve a reason that`s worth marching for
Not for battle our banner unfurls
But for girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.
When we`re marching we never retreat
For we`re charging a foe that is sweet!
But we`re caught in the swirls
Of the enemy`s curls
And surrender to girls, girls, girls.
Reprise
Verse (Not heard in the film)
Ruby lips taste like claret
When they`re pressing close to mine.
What a flavor!
I compare it to that oldest vintage wine.
I don`t need a book of verses
Or a jug beneath the bough,
And my memory rehearses
Not a moment so sweet as now.
Refrain 2
Let us gaze in the wine while it`s wet.
Let`s do things that we`ll live to regret.
Let me dance till the restaurant whirls
With the girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!
When there`s wine and there`s women and song
It is wrong not to do something wrong!
When you do something wrong,
You must do something right,
And I`m doing all right tonight.
