Five Nation Army

The current thing amongst sports fans is to sing (well, something similar anyway) the first several notes from the song, 'Five Nation Army,' and then repeat, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over until my ears start bleeding.  It's the very same song that Hitler's soldiers sang as they ravaged Europe.  Anywho, the fan's goal is to induce a rally or something.  Maybe it's mass vomiting in the stadium that they're trying to induce.  I don't know.  I don't follow this shit - you tell me.  I wonder if they've ever actually listened to the lyrics?  The lyrics are reprinted below.

Mother dear, I'm writing you from somewhere in France,
Sergeant says I'm doing fine, a soldier and a half,
Here's a song that we'll all sing, it'll make laugh!

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Cause the washing day is here.
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We just rub along without a care!

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there!
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
‘Cause the washing day is here.
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there!
Everybody's mucking in and doing their job,
Wearing a great big smile.
Everybody's got to keep their spirit up today,

if you want to keep in swing,
Here's a song to sing;
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Why? ‘Cause the washing day is here.
Now whether the weather may be wet or fine,
Well we'll just rub along without a care!

We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
Well if the Siegfried Line's still there!
Whether the weather may be wet or fine,
We'll just rub along without a care!

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line,
If the Siegfried Line's still there!
