Show #11, "End times, Prophecies and Remembrance Day" aired this morning on SPIRIT-FM 88.7
It's about remembering the veterans who fought in the wars for our freedom and the appreciation of their sacrifice because freedom is not free!

Lots of old songs with background story on them...
Here are the words for
PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES IN YOUR OLD KIT BAG
Private
Perks is a funny little codger,
With
a smile, a funny smile
Five
feet none, he's an artful little dodger
With
a smile, a sunny smile
Flush
or broke, he'll have his little joke
He
can't be suppressed
All
the other fellows have to grin
When
he gets this off his chest.
Hey, pack up
your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile,
smile, smile
While you've
a lucifer to light your fag
Smile boys,
that's the style
What's the
use of worrying?
It never was
worth while
So, pack up
your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile,
smile, smile.'
Private
Perks went a marching into Flanders
With
his smile, his funny smile
He
was loved by the privates and commanders
For
his smile, his sunny smile
When
a throng of Germans came along
With
a mighty swing
Perks
yelled out 'This little bunch is mine
Keep
your heads down, boys, and sing.
Chorus...
Private
Perks came back from Bosche-shooting
With
his smile, his funny smile
Round
his home he then set about recruiting
With
his smile, his sunny smile
He
told all his pals, the short, the tall
What
a time he'd had And as each enlisted like a man
Private
Perks said 'Now my lad,'
Chorus...
