To be sung to the tune of English Country Garden

How many kinds of swift warbirds fly
In the Battle for Tunisia?
We'll name them all or give it a try
And you’ll pardon my amnesia
Spitfires, Warhawks, 109s,
Heinkels, Havocs, Hurrakynes,
Macchis, Mustangs, and Dewointines,
Junkers, Fieslers, Lightings, and sleek Würgerin,
In the Battle for Tunisia.
What sorts of things loudly rumble by
In the Battle for Tunisia?
We'll name them all or give it a try
And you’ll pardon my amnesia
Panzer IIIs, Grants, Greifs, and Jeeps
88s firing at the Lees
Sherman tanks roll in the burning sand
Valentines, Tiger treads
And other things to dread
In the Battle for Tunisia
How many folk are seen low and high
In the Battle for Tunisia?
We'll name them all or give it a try
And you’ll pardon my amnesia
Handsome Brits who give ‘em ‘ell
New-come Yanks and old Rommel
Free French, Arabs, here a random camel
There are sailors at sea
And warriors where ’er you be
In the Battle for Tunisia
