0

[FIREFLY]
Then it's war!
Then it's war!
Gather the forces!
Armor the horses!
It's war!
[GENERAL 1]
Freedonia's going to war!
[JUDGE]
Each native son
Will grab a gun
[GENERAL 2]
And run away to war
[JUDGES]
At last we're going to
[GENERALS]
Feet will beat along the street to war
[PALACE GUARDS]
We're going to war
[CHICOLINI AND BOB]
At last the country's going to war
[SPECTATORS]
This means the country's going to war
[GENERALS]
At last the country's going to war
[SPECTATORS]
We're going to war
[PROSECUTOR]
This is a fact we can't ignore
[SPECTATORS]
We're going to war
This is a fact we can't ignore
We're going to war
[FIREFLY]
In case you haven't heard before
I think they think we're going to war
I think they think we're going to war
[SPECTATORS]
We're going to war
[BOB]
I think they think we're going to war
[SPECTATORS]
We're going to war
[CHICOLINI]
We're going to war
[SPECTATORS]
We're going to war
[CHICOLINI]
We're going to war
(instrumental break)
[SPECTATORS]
To war, to war, to war we gotta go
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
[SPECTATORS]
To war, to war, to war we gotta go
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
[SPECTATORS]
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
[SPECTATORS]
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa whoa
[SPECTATORS]
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa
Oh whoa
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
They got guns
We got guns
All God's chillun got guns
[SPECTATORS]
We're gonna walk all over the battlefield
'Cause all God's chillun got guns
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
Hail, Freedonia! Oh don'tcha cry for me
I'll be comin' round the mountain
With a banjo on my knee
[SPECTATORS]
Oh, Freedonia! Freedonia cryin' for me
[FIREFLY, CHICOLINI, AND BOB]
I'll be comin' round the mountain
With a banjo on my
(dance break)
[SPECTATORS]
To war, to war, to war we gotta go
To war, to war, to war
(dance break)
[SPECTATORS]
To war, to war, we soon will say goodbye
[BOB]
Oh, how we'd cry for Firefly
If Firefly should die
[SPECTATORS]
A mighty man is he
A man of brawn
Who'll carry on
Till dawn of victory
With him to lead the way
Our spirits will not lag
Until the judgment day
We'll rally round the flag
The flag, the flag, the flag!
