STOP THE CAVALRY
Jona Lewie
Hey
Mister Churchill comes over here to say we're doing splendidly.
But it's very cold up here in the snow marching to and from the enemy.
Oh
I say it's tough I have had enough
can you stop the cavalry.
I have had to fight almost ev'ry night down throughout the centuries
That is when I say
oh yes
yet again can you stop the cavalry.
Mary Bradley waits at home in the nuclear fallout zone
Wish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love.
Lum a-lum a-lum lum lum a-lum a-lum lum lum lum a-lum lum
(a-lum a-lum)
Lum a-lum a-lum lum lum a-lum a-lum lum lum lum a-lum lum
(a-lum a-lum)
Wish I was at home for Christmas.
Bang! There's another bomb on another town while the Czar and
(Jim have tea)
If I get home
live to tell the tale I'll run for all Presidencies.
If I get elected I'll stop
I will stop the cavalry.
I have had to fight almost ev'ry night down throughout the centuries
...
Lum a-lum a-lum lum lum a-lum a-lum lum lum lum a-lum lum
(a-lum a-lum)
Wish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
she's been waiting two years long.
Wish I was at home for Christmas.
