Duke Special - Yvette (Song Of Fraternization) lyrics

We hated the soldiers, their army took our town, I was sixteen The foreign occupier grinned as he loosened my nightgown May mornings are so bright But comes the dark May night The captain shouts "you're all dismissed" Then boys with mischief in their eyes Will find the girls who fraternise How could I hate him when we kissed? The foreign occupation brought sorrows, and then a cook By day I would despise him, but when night fell I loved the liberties that he took May mornings are so bright But comes the dark May night The captain shouts "boys, hit the hay" But one with something on his mind Knows just the kind of girl to find We fraternised until the day My oppressor and my lover for me were one and the same Everyone said "her love's just convenient", what we agreed on was my shame A cloud that hid the sun Announced my joy was done And you have your fun, but troops move on You wait all night, where can he be? Your lover and your enemy His army's marching and he's gone His army's marching and he's gone
