Hahaha, hey you know something? world war ii wasn't all that much fun,

'specially if you didn't even have a gun. well, you know you gotta go through

It if you wanna get to it, and i can tell you i did, but no thanks to a little

Lady. she was, uh, she, she kept us up all hours of the night. hell, half the

Time we didn't have time to fight. but i don't think i would have to expound

Much further 'cause everyone knows 'bout tokyo rose.

Hehaha, lemme tell you a little more. scared? christ, i was so damned scared i

Could crawl under a snake's belly, with a top hat on, without even touching it.

That's how scared i was. shit, who wants your ass blown off when you don't even

Know if it's kosher. you know, kind of like when you went to school. always

Breakin' the rules, thinkin' nobody knows. haha, but don't kid yourself, baby,

The lady in the classroom knows, and her name? you got it -- tokyo rose.

Lord, have mercy. ha, i feel like i'm teaching class. i gotta go through it all

Over again, 'cause you haven't learned your lessons now. i don't want to give

You a bad report card, so i say, do you know that world war ii wasn't fun. have

You got that down, jim? right on, especially if you didn't have a gun. well,

You know you gotta go through it if you wanna get to it. and i can tell you i

Did, but no thanks to a little lady, yeah, she kept us up all hours of the

Night. hell, half the time, we never had time to fight. and, uh, yeah, there's

No sense of me expounding any further.
