xiphophilos 29th Jan 2022		Lyrics to "Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty" (by Bennett Scott, Fred Godfrey, Arthur J. Mills) Jack Dunn strafing the Hun somewhere in France today Keeps fit doing his bit, up to his eyes in clay. Each night after the fight, to pass the time along, He's got a little gramophone that plays this song: Chorus: Take me back to dear old Blighty, Put me on a train to London Town. Take me over there, drop me anywhere, Birmingham, Leeds, or Manchester, well, I don't care. I should love to see my best girl' Cuddling up again we soon would be (whoa!). Tidley-idley-ighty, hurry me home to Blighty, Blighty is the place for me. One day, Mickey O' Shea, out in a trench somewhere, So brave, having a shave, trying to part his hair, Mickey yells (dodging the shells and lumps of dynamite): "Talk of the Crystal Palace on a firework night." Chorus: Take me back to dear old Blighty, Put me on a train to London Town. Take me over there, drop me anywhere, Birmingham, Leeds, or Manchester, well, I don't care. I should love to see my best girl' Cuddling up again we soon would be, whoa! Tidley-idley-iti, hurry me home to Blighty, Blighty is the place for me.
