Harry Irene

Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
 Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
 Ran a canteen
 Ran a canteen
 Two people Harry and Irene like you never seen
 The floor was made of oak, the door was smoky grey
 Their tuna sandwiches would turn the dark into day
 They sold wine like turpentine to painters
 They took to social life like props to aviators
 Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
 Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
 Ran a canteen
 Ran a canteen
 Took Harry for all of his green and Irene
 Harry was left holding an empty canteen
 And by the way folks, it was Dusty not Harry
 What does this mean?
 What does this mean?
 What's the meaning of this?
 Poor Harry, I guess
