We used to be so hungry,
We used to be so blue;
But now we know that you all
Enjoy the song we play along the whole night through.

We used to be unhappy,
We used to be so blue;
But then you gave us supper,
We love to play all night and day for all of you.

Les croissants an jambon,
Et sandwiches sont tres bon;
The punch's fine, the good wine
Have all been wonderful to band of mine.

We used to be so hungry,
We used to be so blue;
But then you gave us supper,
You've been so kind, so never Mind the H.M. Blues.
