(You get your head down, will you)
I I want you
I want you to
I want you to march
Eyes go right
Shoulder arms left wheel turn
Show your charms
Change your clothes
Cut your hair ain't no joke
Ain't no place for kids
When the flags are high
Hear the battle cry treaty gone
See the bandit fly dig that trench
Watch the blast shell shock come
Coming fast name and rank on parade
Might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what this means?
Do you know what this means?
This means war
This means war
This means war
I said this means war
This means war
This means war (run for cover
Hit the deck, call for your mother) I
I need you I need you to
I need you to fire
Cock your gun, wet your sights
Get the bull dead to rights volunteers
One pace back on the beach ain't no place for kids
When the flack is high on a bomber run
You don't talk back to an ack-ack gun
Fire range, and you're in the blitz
Keep your head or you're blown to bits
Name and rank on parade
Might get laid by a hand grenade
Do you know what it means?
Do you know what it means?
This means war, who's going there?
Is it a friend or foe?
Propaganda time on the radio
Top brass shout as they clown around
Peace talks die in Geneva town
Do you know what it means? (this means war)
Do you know what it means? (this means war)
Do you know what it means? (this means war)
Do you know what it means? (this means)
This means war, this means war
I said this means war, this means war
This means war (where's the second gun?)
This means war
I told you before, this means war
You know the score
