Sixteen military wives
|
Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes
|
Staring at the natural tan
|
Of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands
|
Seventeen company men
|
Out of which only twelve will make it back again
|
Seargeant sent a letter to five
|
Military wives, his tears drip down to ten little eye
|
|
Cheer them on to their rivals
|
Cause America can, and America can't say no
|
And America does, if America says it's so
|
It's so
|
|
And the anchorperson on TV goes...
|
La de da de da
|
|
Fifteen celebrity mimes
|
Leaving their fifteen sorted wretched checkered lives
|
Will they find the solution in time
|
Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?
|
|
Eighteen academy chairs
|
Out of which only seven really even care
|
Doling out a garment to five
|
Celebrity mimes, they're humbly taken by surprise
|
|
Cheer them on to their rivals
|
Cause America can, and America can't say no
|
And America does, if America says it's so
|
It's so
|
|
And the anchorperson on TV goes...
|
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
|
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
|
|
Fourteen cannibal kings
|
Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring
|
Fifteen celebrity mimes
|
Served on a leafy bed th sixteen military wives
|
|
Cheer them on to their rivals
|
Cause America can, and America can't say no
|
And America does, if America says it's so
|
It's so
|
|
And the anchorperson on TV goes...
|
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
|
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
