The Decemberists - 16 Military Wives lyrics
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 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 Living their fifteen sordid 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. |
