UNDERNEATH THE LAMP POST
BY THE BARRACK GATE.
DARLING, I REMEMBER
THE WAY YOU USED TO WAIT.
‘TWAS THERE THAT YOU WHISPERED
TENDERLY, THAT YOU LOVED ME,
YOU’D ALWAYS BE,
MY LILI OF THE LAMPLIGHT,
MY OWN LILI MARLENE.
TIME WOULD COME FOR ROLL CALL,
TIME FOR US TO PART.
DARLING, I’D CARESS YOU
AND PRESS YOU TO MY HEART.
AND THERE BENEATH
THAT FAR- OFF LANTERN LIGHT,
I’D HOLD YOU TIGHT,
WE’D KISS GOOD NIGHT,
MY LILI OF THE LAMPLIGHT
MY OWN LILI MARLENE
X-X-X-X-X-X
LILI MARLENE
