Tell me, old man, of what happened to you,
Back in the war tell me what did you do.
Tell me, were you a soldier out doing your bit,
Or up in an aircraft, were you ever hit.
Tell me, after VE day, what became of you then,
Will you be remembered by film or by pen,
Tell me, had you the option, your future you'd spied,
Tell me, old soldier, would you rather have died.
