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 Légion Étrangère
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 marched 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
To forget
