War, War
We need more War.
Come patriots,
Come comrades,
Let’s all go to Waaaar!
Raise your banners,
Gather your muskets,
Sharpen your swords,
Let's all go to Waaaar!
Won’t it be fun,
To kill a man
We do not know.
To take his life
And rape his wife.
Let's all go to Waaaar!
We need no cause
That is because
We just need War
War, War,
We need more Waaaar!
Let’s all go to Waaaar!
Little boy dreams
Of wooden sticks
And cardboard forts,
Playing at War
On a summer’s eve.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Let's all go to Waaaar!
Hup, two, three, four
Buckle your shoe
I’m off to War,
Hup, two, three, four
Let’s all go to Waaaar!
March, March, March
Let’s all March
Through the Valley of Death
Death, Death, Death
Let’s all go to Waaaar!
Death on the right
Death on the left
The shots rang out
Ten Thousand died
To save the king
Waaaar! Waaaar! Waaaar!
We need more Waaaar!
Give us more Waaaar!
Boots on the ground,
Boys in a trench.
Flanders’s field and
Normandy’s shores,
Hiroshima and Nagasaki too.
Honor guards and monuments,
One million crosses in a row.
We’ll come and visit
On a springtime day;
Pay homage to all
Who sacrificed.
We’ll Lay flowers on their graves,
In honor of those
Who died this way
Waaaar! Waaaar! Waaaar!
We need more Waaaar!
Hup, two, three, four,
To white crosses on a hill
