To War! Lyrics by The Collegiate Chorale

Knickerbocker Holiday

0

[POFFENBURGH, spoken]
Army, right face!
Sir, this is the army of New Amsterdam!
[STUYVESANT, spoken]
That is exactly the spirit which I intend to destroy among you
You have grown fat and foolish for lack of an antagonist
Since we have no enemies it is necessary to create them!
[THE ARMY]
One, two, three, four
Huh up!
One, two, three, four
Huh up!
One, two, three, four
(Hep) One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
(Hep) One, two, three, four
One (Hep), two (Hep), three (Hep), four (Hep)
One, two, three, four (Hep)
To war, to war, to war!
We don't want what we're fighting for!
To war, to war, to war!
But that's all right when soldiers go to war
Oh, if we leavе the maidens we adorе
It's not exactly that we fancy more
To come home feet first, laid out six by four
Or minus parts the surgeon can't restore
Or that we've been offered gold
No, it's only that we're told:
To war, to war, to war!
To war, to war, to war!
Oh, if we leave our homes and go to fight
It's not because we're certain that we're right
Or even that it fill us with delight
That we'll be slaughtered heroes by tonight
Or that we mind growing old
No, it's only that we're told:
To war, to war, to war!
We don't want what we're fighting for!
But that's all right when soldiers go to war
To war, to war, to war!
