Oh Rolli, what's your game?
Are you fighting in the war again?
Carmen holds her cross and chain
Rolli don't be long
His paper hand salutes some birds,
But his mind's in Normandy
Golden star on a flannel shirt
But his mind's in Normandy
These commands are nothing that they'd understand
Oh Rolli, what's your game?
Are you fighting in the war again?
Carmen holds her cross and chain
Rolli don't be long
For fifty years, he kept his cool
Like a one man company
What else can a soldier do?
Like a one man company
All alone with demons that they'll never know
Oh Rolli, what's your game?
Are you fighting in the war again?
Carmen holds her cross and chain
Rolli don't be long
Again the dogs are on his boots
Like a POW
One more old, demented fool
Or a POW?
Laugh and say that they're all the same at that age
But this is Rolli
Oh Rolli, what's your game?
Are you fighting in the war again?
Carmen holds her cross and chain
Rolli don't be long
