Thread Name: Lyr Req: (A) Little Grey Home in the West
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Little Grey Home in the West
Norfolk traditional singer Walter Pardon a parody to the same tune about a medal that all soldiers who fought in the 2nd World War were given called the 39-45 Star - the troops called it the Spam Medal
Oh, the 39-45 Star
It's the best little medal by far,
I've got one on my chest and one on my vest,
One on my pyjamas when I take my rest,
Oh, the 39-45 Star,
It's the best little medal by far,
But I won't ever wear it, there's too many share it;
The 39-45 Star.
Jim Carroll
