PUBLISHED:  Apr 04, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
Here is the old war song featuring Winston Churchill (We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line) in a light mix and video mash up especially for V E day victory in Europe Celebrations WW2 the end of the Nazi regime .
Not relevant to our German friends nowadays apart from all sides must remember the loss
of life that war brings as a lesson from history.(la fête de la victoire, le jour de la libération)

This tune Siegfried Line originally written in 1939 at the beginning of the war as a comedy song
and obviously taken literally later by some solders as shown in the video clips.
It plays on the English language where a LINE of guns has the same word as a washing LINE or in this case
The Siegfried LINE the Nazis last LINE of defence from the allies in 1945.

(Lyrics)

Mother Dear

I’m writing to you somewhere in France

(What should I say now Sargent)

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘For our washing day is here.

(Instrumental bit)

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘For our washing day is here

Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We will roll along without a care!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there,

Mr Hitler, ranting and raving
My Xbox is broken

Watch the symbol
(The Americans blow up the Swastika)
