Intro: E E, E E, E E, E E

E E G G
Sixteen military wives
A A E E
Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes
E E G G
Staring at the natural tan
A A E E
Of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands
A A B B
Seventeen company men
C# C# D D A A
Out of which only twelve will make it back again
E E G G
Seargeant sent a letter to five
A A E E
Military wives, his tears drip down to ten little eyes


B B
Cheer them on to their rivals
A A E E A A E E B B
Cause America can, and America can't say no
A A E E A A E E B B
And America does, if America says it's so
B B
It's so
( D D O N T P L A A Y H E E R E E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
E E
La de da de da


E E G G
Fifteen celebrity mimes
A A E E
Leaving their fifteen sorted wretched checkered lives
E E G G
Will they find the solution in time
A A E E
Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds
A A B B
Eighteen academy chairs
C# C# D D A A
Out of which only seven really even care
E E G G
Doling out a garment to five
A A E E
Celebrity mimes, they're humbly taken by surprise


B B
Cheer them on to their rivals
A A E E A A E E B B
Cause America can, and America can't say no
A A E E A A E E B B
And America does, if America says it's so
B B
It's so
( D D O N T P L A A Y H E E R E E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
E E
La de da de da de di de di de da
E E
La de da de da de di de di de da


Bridge: E E, G G, A A, E E, E E, G G, A A, E E


A A B B
Fourteen cannibal kings
C# C# D D A A
Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring
E E G G
Fifteen celebrity mimes
A A E E
Served on a leafy bed of sixteen military wives


B B
Cheer them on to their rivals
A A E E A A E E B B
Cause America can, and America can't say no
A A E E A A E E B B
And America does, if America says it's so
B B
It's so
( D D O N T P L A A Y H E E R E E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
E E
La de da de da de di de di de da
E E
La de da de da de di de di de da
E E
La de da de da de di de di de da
E E
De da de da de di de di de da
E E
De da de da de di de di de da
