The Decemberists

16 Military Wives

Sixteen military wives

Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes

Staring at the natural tan

Of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands

Seventeen company men

Out of which only twelve will make it back again

Seargeant sent a letter to five

Military wives, his tears drip down to ten little eye

Cheer them on to their rivals

Cause America can, and America can't say no

And America does, if America says it's so

It's so

And the anchorperson on TV goes...

La de da de da

Fifteen celebrity mimes

Leaving their fifteen sorted wretched checkered lives

Will they find the solution in time

Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?

Eighteen academy chairs

Out of which only seven really even care

Doling out a garment to five

Celebrity mimes, they're humbly taken by surprise

Cheer them on to their rivals

Cause America can, and America can't say no

And America does, if America says it's so

It's so

And the anchorperson on TV goes...

La de da de da de-dadedade-da

La de da de da de-dadedade-da

Fourteen cannibal kings

Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring

Fifteen celebrity mimes

Served on a leafy bed th sixteen military wives

Cheer them on to their rivals

Cause America can, and America can't say no

And America does, if America says it's so

It's so

And the anchorperson on TV goes...

La de da de da de-dadedade-da

La de da de da de-dadedade-da
