fred hilton - plum & apple lyrics

[verse 1]
when first the boys in khaki went away to win the war
the food out there was great, i’m very glad to say
they’d every kind of luxury, there’s mutton, beef and lamb
they’d also twenty million tins of plum and apple jam
they all ate plum and apple ’til they got it on the brain
and every tommy in the trenches now sings this refrain
he’s singing

[chorus]
plum and apple, plum and apple
jam for breakfast, jam for tea, but we never get a bit of strawberry
plum and apple, ’til the boys begin to say
if we’d used these tins of jam, you see
as sh+lls for our artillery
we’d’ve won this war quite easily
and been in berlin today

[verse 2]
when sergeant binks came home on leave
he found to his surprise
his wife, matilda binks, had presented him with twins
he gazed upon the youngsters, and his heart was filled with joy
a darling little girl, and such a funny bouncing boy
“what shall we call them?” says the wife
“i’ll leave the names to you
i don’t like fancy names,” said binks
“i’ll tell you what we’ll do
we’ll call them”
[chorus]
plum and apple, plum and apple
jam for breakfast, jam for tea, but we never get a bit of strawberry
plum and apple, ’til the boys begin to say
if we’d used these tins of jam, you see
as sh+lls for our artillery
we’d’ve won this war quite easily
and been in berlin today

[verse 3]
now, private mick maloney of the dublin fusiliers
got wounded out in france, in the british big advance
they brought him home to hospital, and while in bed he lay
a lady who liked asking silly questions called one day
“what brought you here, maloney, was it poison gas?” she cried
“or was it sh+lls?”
but with a wink, maloney then replied
no, it was
