Lyrics
Tho’ sentimental things are often forgotten
In a world so filled with care
Could you find sometime to spare
For the story of a love affair?
Chorus:
The same old sweethearts
The same old place
A boy in khaki, a girl in lace
He bends to kiss her
She lifts her face
The boy in khaki, the girl in lace
Tenderly he sighs, “I will come back to you”
“Oh my darling, please do,” she replies
And so we leave them in fond embrace
The boy in khaki, the girl in lace
