16 Military Wives
Lyricist:Colin Patrick Meloy
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 Sergeant sends a letter to five military wives His tears drip down from 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' And the anchorperson on TV goes La-di-da-di-da
Fifteen celebrity minds Leading their fifteen sordid, wretched checkered lives Will they find their solution in time? Using fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds
Eighteen academy chairs Out of which only seven really even care Doling out a garland to five Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Celebrity minds, 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-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da La-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da
Fourteen cannibal kings Wondering blithely what the dinner bell will bring Fifteen celebrity minds Served in 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' And the anchorperson on TV goes La-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da La-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da
La-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da La-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da La-di-da-di-da-didi-didi-da
