Historic landing in Normandy |
Splish splash through the open sea To the beaches of Normandy The soldiers fill the Higgins boats Low in the water everything floats In the boat, the water like an oil slick Hard to stand, makes you sea sick Clear the raft, thirty seconds Closer and closer the beach beckons The whistle blows Everyone knows This is a place the Germans dwell They are entering a new hell The doors drop, through the water they tread If they don't move they will be dead Relying on sheer luck behind the traps they duck Now they run across the sands As they cock their garands Nows their time to take a stand Like brothers, together they band Forward they advance towards the German lines Avoiding tank traps, barbed wire, and mines Taking cover behind the low sea wall "We need to get off the beach," the officers call Bangalores they will have to use Stand back as they light the fuse Past the sea wall every soldier runs Now to take out the German guns The flamethrowers, they fire away Burning the bunkers that tortured all day "Tell the generals!" A soldiers beseech "For we have Successfully taken the beach!" |
