(Both)
We’re a couple of soldiers my baby and me
Fighting shoulder to shoulder whatever may be

(Anona)
Trouble and hard luck we face with a grin
Like regular soldiers we never give in

(Sam)

When she’s weary I cheer her, she patches my clothes
Then I bring her a medal, a little red rose

(Both)
With a smile all the while to the end we’ll always be
Just a couple of soldiers, my baby and me.

(Musical Break)

(Anona)
When I’m weary  he cheers me I patch all his clothes
Then he brings me a medal, a little red rose

(Both)
With a smile all the while, to the end we’ll always be
Just a couple of soldiers my baby and me.

As recorded by Bing Crosby

We’re a couple of soldiers my baby and me
Fighting shoulder to shoulder whatever may be
Trouble and hard luck we face with a grin
Like regular soldiers we never give in
When she’s weary I cheer her, she patches my clothes
Then I bring her a medal, a little red rose
With a smile all the while to the end we’ll always be
Just a couple of soldiers, my baby and me.

Everybody has troubles
Care and worry, too
Some lay down, and don’t get up
Some go smiling through
I’m in love with somebody
And hope is never gone
The love we have for each other
Keeps us Marching on

We’re a couple of soldiers my baby and me
Fighting shoulder to shoulder whatever may be
Trouble and hard luck we face with a grin
Like regular soldiers we never give in
When she’s weary I cheer her, she patches my clothes
Then I bring her a medal, a little red rose
With a smile all the while to the end we’ll always be
Just a couple of soldiers, my baby and me.

(Short Musical Break)

With a smile all the while to the end we’ll always be
Just a couple of soldiers, my baby and me.
