The Bells of Hell
from Songs and Slang of the British Soldier 1914-1918 by John Brophy
The bells of hell go ding-a-ling-a-ling
For you but not for me
And the little devils how they sing-a-ling-a-ling
The sing so merrily
O death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling
O grave, thy victory?
The bells of hell go ding-a-ling-a-ling
For you but not for me
Good night, my darlings.
