Study war no more |
|
Lay down your arms |
|
Study war no more |
|
Lay 'em down lay 'em down now |
|
Study war no more |
|
Lay down your arms |
|
Study war no more |
|
Newsreels rattle the Nazi dread |
|
The able-bodied have shipped away |
|
Molly McGee gets her tea-leaves read |
|
You'll be married in a month they say |
|
"These leaves are crazy! |
|
Look at this town there's no men left! |
|
Just frail old boys and babies |
|
Talking to teacher in the treble clef" |
|
She plants her garden in the spring |
|
She does the winter shovelling |
|
Tokyo Rose on the radio |
|
She says she's leavin' but she don't go |
|
Out of the blue just passin' thru |
|
A young flight sergeant |
|
On two weeks leave |
|
Says "Molly McGee no one else will do!" |
|
And seals the tea-leaf prophecy |
|
Oh these nights are strong and soft |
|
Private passions and secret storms |
|
Nothin' about him ticks her off |
|
And he looks so cute in his uniform |
|
She plants her garden in the spring |
|
He does the winter shovelling |
|
But summer's just a sneeze |
|
In a long long bad winter cold |
|
She says "I'm leavin' here" but she don't go |
|
"Sleep little darlin'! |
|
This is your happy home |
|
Hiroshima cannot be pardoned! |
|
Don't have kids when you get grown |
|
Because this world is shattered |
|
The wise are mourning |
|
The fools are joking |
|
Oh what does it matter? |
|
The wash needs ironing |
|
And the fire needs stoking" |
|
She plants her garden in the spring |
|
He does the winter shovelling |
|
The three of 'em laughing 'round the radio |
|
She says "I'm leavin' here" but she don't go |
|
She plants her garden in the spring |
|
They do the winter shovelling |
|
They sit up late and watch the |
|
Johnny Carson show |
|
She says "I'm leavin' here but she don't go". |
