LA PAIX - PEACE
“After the war we 're going to go
To frolic in frivolous Paris; We 'll make a stream of champagne flow
From Etoile down to Saint Denis; Through the Arc de Triomphe we will file,
And visit all the swell cafés ; We 'll celebrate it in a style
Not equalled since the Hundred Days:
That's what we 're really fighting for — That party that we've got in store,
After the War.”
American ambulance driver’s verse – En Repos and Elsewhere Over There: Verses Written in France, 1917-1918 – WW1, Paris, en terrasse at the Café de la Paix (Peace café)
