Play it again
Play it again
Take me back
to you know when
Let's hear it sam
for good old
world war two
Play it sam
Play it again
Gee
The world was
simple then
back when
hearts were brave
and love was true
Then
we knew the good guys
Then
we knew the bad
Right was right
And wrong was wrong
Accordin' to mom and dad
(and we believed them)
Then a war
was called
a war
Proud as trumpet horns
But a rose
by any other name
still has thorns
Play it sam
Play it for me
Take me where
I want to be
Back with you
and good old
world war two
Far away
I just can't make
today
Far as I can be
from good old
world war three.
