DOES IT MATTER
Solo 1: Does it matter—losing your legs?
For people will always be kind,
And you need not show that you mind
All: When the others come in after hunting
To gobble their muffins and eggs
Solo 2: Does it matter—losing your sight?....
There’s such splendid work for the blind;
And people will always be kind,
All: As you sit on the terrace remembering
And turning your face to the
light.
Solo 3: Do they matter---those dreams from the
pit?
You can drink and forget and be glad,
And people won’t say that you’re mad;
All: For they’ll know that you’ve fought for your country,
And now one will worry a bit.
