I Joined the Foreign Legion (To Forget)

I joined the Foreign Legion one Thursday cold and wet

I think it was December

But you must remember I Joined the Foreign Legion to forget

I joined the Foreign Legion (La Legion Etranger)

One sultry day in July

Back when I still knew why I joined the Foreign Legion anyway

I joined the Foreign Legion, became a Legionnaire

We'd march to far off regions

To forts we'd be besieged in

Then one day I forgot why I was there

I joined the Foreign Legion somebody to forget

She said I'd find it easier if I had amnesia

Who she was I do not recollect

I joined the Foreign Legion to forget
