Armistice Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On armistice day
The philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shufflin brown tunes
Hanging around, ahoo
M-m-m-m-m-m-m
No long drawn blown out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend she was there
Just like an easy chair
Oo, oo-o
M-m-m-m-m-m-m
Armistice day
Armistice day
That's all I really wanted to say
Oh I'm weary from waiting
In washington d.c.
I'm coming to see my congressman
But he's avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in washington d.c.
Oh congresswoman
Won't you tell that congressman
I've waited such a long time
I've about waited all I can
Oh congresswoman, won't you tell that congressman
