VE Day

VE DAY The war is won it’s VE day
And dawn was breaking far away
Bunting hung across the street
Tables piled high with things to eat
Tommy plays the old piano
Any song for just a tanner
We ate and drank beer and tea
What a wonderful feeling it was to be free
We danced and waved flags
And told Hitler gags
Grown ups busy children play
On this VE day in May
Dancing, singing, feet are sore
To celebrate peace, parties galore
We sang and danced and laughed and cried
But never forgot the ones that have died
Out of step soldiers seeking release
Strangers hugging to celebrate peace
As darkness falls they light the fire
Soon folk will begin to retire
Okey, cokey conga too
Oh it was a perfect do
Now to remember VE day with pride
For the lives laid down, for all those that died.
