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 it'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 just rub along without a care

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line

If the Siegfried Line's still there

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 the Siegfried Line's still there

Everybody's mucking in and doing their job

Wearing a great big smile

Everybody's got to keep their spirit up today

If you want to keep in swing

Here's a song to sing

We're going 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

Why 'Cause the washing day is here

Now whether the weather may be wet or fine

Well we'll just rub along without a care

We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line

Well if the 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 the Siegfried Line's still there
