LYRICS:
Do you remember
The day that the Nazis surrendered
After six awful years it was splendid
Churchill gave us our VE Da-a-ay
​
Victory in Europe
The whole country was feeling jubilant
Excited and overexuberant
We congaed round Trafalgar Square
​
Hey, hey, hey!
VE Day! Say, do you remember
VE Day! That brilliant two-day bender
VE Day! Peace was finally here to sta-a-a-ay
​
I went to London
God Save the King, bells were ringing
There was dancing and snogging and singing
A million people on the streets or mo-o-o-ore
​
The Royal Family
Appeared at times on the balcony
The masses were cheering and happy
Though I found it quite hard to see-e-e
Hey, hey, hey!
VE Day! A sunny day in May
VE Day! We could turn the lights on, yay!
VE Day! Peace was finally here to sta-a-a-ay
​
VE Day! The Allies, we were stronger
VE Day! Come on, let’s do the conga
VE Day! Wish the party lasted longer
​
VE Day! All red white and blue
VE Day! After all that we’d gone through
VE Day! Why do we still have to queue-e-e?
