They tell a story back in London town That when you hear taps sound Then all you soldiers have a sweetheart Who always comes around When night is falling She comes calling The girl in no man's land She comes to cheer them And be near them A dream they understand Doughboys weary, cold and lonely Know her as their one and only The angel who at close of day Comes round to kiss their cares away When this is over You'll discover The love you've always planned Until that time Pretend that I'm The girl in no man's land When this is over You'll discover The love you've always planned Until that time Pretend that I'm The girl in no man's land
