Hooves clop, knives chop, it has begun
Home from the war, the men are returning
Girls weep, men sleep, home at last
Men drink, glasses chink, bring more beer
Lively and full of folly, drinks all round
Sun shines, laughter lines, just love here
Birds sing, bells ring, war is done
Boys and girls run around in happiness
He’s home, he’s home, father is home
War is now done, the battle has been won
But now for a twist,
One man missed
