Say Ta
Eisenhower saw the thing
He said this is sickening
I swear I saw the very thing
I saw it in America
Let's play safe
I never knew how
How to play safe
You told me how
How to play safe
A thousand times
I don't believe in fairies any more
Today I saw a very very thing
But that's another song
You're too simple minded
Let's play it safe
What do we have in common?
Play it safe
What do we have in common?
Play it safe
I want to be a criminal
Play it safe
