Lyrics and chords:
Intro: , , ,
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 eyes
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
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
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
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
La de da de da de di de di de da
La de da de da de di de di de da
Bridge: , , , , , , ,
Fourteen cannibal kings
Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring
Fifteen celebrity mimes
Served on a leafy bed of 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
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
La de da de da de di de di de da
La de da de da de di de di de da
La de da de da de di de di de da
De da de da de di de di de da
De da de da de di de di de da
