Remember remember the eleventh of November
a date to remember
a date to remember
like the 5th of November
a date to remember
like the 5th of November
and two thousand and one the eleventh of September
Upon the eleventh day month and hour
in the year nineteen eighteen of the Lords unending power
men but no women so not a marriage
instead peacemakers aboard railway carriage
Though then not quite homeward bound
wearied by four years of wars battleground sound
made good plot
I see no reason
in the crisp golden leaved season
why the nineteen eighteen gunpowder cessation
by many a nation
should ever be forgot
