WOJTEK
Wojtek was a private
But Wojtek was much more
And at Monte Cassino
Wojtek went to war;
He carried ammunition
The Germans were in awe
Of Wojtek who was legend in
The Polish 2nd Corps;
Wojtek liked his cigarettes
And Wojtek liked a beer
He wrestled and he danced with
Colleagues Wojtek loved so dear;
And when the war was over
To Edinburgh he came
He died in 1963
With statues to his name;
I saw one when in Krakow
While holidaying there;
Yes, Wojtek was a legend
For Wojtek was a bear.
