DOWN AT THE HOLE IN THE WALL
Words and music by Leslie Sarony, Leslie Holmes, and E. Hylton, ©1939.
As sung by The Two Leslies (Leslie Sarony and Leslie Holmes)

1. Somewhere in France there's a buxom young girl,
And for her the fellows all fall.
You'll find her working down at the establishment(?)
Known as the Hole in the Wall.

CHORUS: Oh, down at the Hole in the Wall,
Down at the Hole in the Wall,
I'll have a drink; you'll have a drink; we'll have a drink; all have a drink
Down at the Hole in the Wall.

2. The fellows all smack her whenever she bends.
She's forty and she doesn't mind,
But the girl needs protection and that's why she's wearing
Her A.R.P. tin hat behind.

3. A soldier took her up the hillside one day.
She puffed and said life was a farce.
She got a bit hazy, then trod on a daisy
And slipped down and fell on the grass.

4. She said to a fellow, "Take this bucket out
And milk that old cow till it's full."
For hours he sat working, perspiring and jerking,
Then found out that cow was a bull.

5. With uniforms, tin hats and trousers today,
You can't tell the ma's from the pa's,
And when we put on our gas mask, I'll say
That it sounds like a bloomin' great razz.
