[Verse 1]
Now Cover there across the sea they've got another war,
But Foh, I wonder if they know just what they're fighting Cfor,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 2]
In 19C17, you know, we helped them win their fight,
But Fall we got was a lesson in what Sherman said was Cright,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 3]
I was a Csimple country lad; I lived down on the farm,
I'd Fnever even killed a gnat nor done a body Charm,
Until that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 4]
One Cday the sheriff caught me, said "Come along, my son,
Your FUncle Sam is needing you to help him tote a Cgun,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar."
[Verse 5]
They Ctook me down to the courthouse, my head was in a whirl,
And Fwhen the doctors passed on me, I wished I'd been a gCirl,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 6]
They Ctook me out to the rifle range to hear the bullets sing,
I Fshot and shot that whole day long and never hit a Cthing,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 7]
The Ccaptain said to fire at will and I said who is he,
The Fold fool got so raving mad he fired his gun at Cme,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 8]
When Cfirst we got to sunny France, I looked around with glee,
But Frain and kil-o-meters was all that I could Csee,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 9]
A Ccannonball flew overhead, I started home right then,
The Fcorporal he was after me but the general beat us Cin,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 10]
And Cnow we're back at home again from over there in France,
The Fenemy lost the battle and we lost all our Cpants,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 11]
I run Call over Europe a-trying to save my life,
There Fwill come another war, I'll send my darling Cwife,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
[Verse 12]
Well, Cwars may come and wars may go, but get this on your mind,
There Fwill come another war, I'll be hard to Cfind,
In that G7war, that crazy Cwar.
