Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we’re doing splendidly.
But it’s very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy.
Oh I say it’s tough, I have had enough,
Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight almost every night,
Down throughout these centuries.
That is when I say, oh yes yet again,
Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home,
In the nuclear fallout zone.
Wish I could be dancing now,
In the arms of the girl I love.

Wish I was at home for Christmas.

Bang goes another bomb on another town
While the Czar and Jim have tea.
If I get home, live to tell the tale,
I’ll run for all presidencies.
If I get elected I’ll stop
I will stop the cavalry.

Wish I was at home for Christmas.

Wish I could be dancing now,
In the arms of the girl I love.
Mary Bradley waits at home,
She’s been waiting two years long.

Wish I was at home for Christmas.

–Jona Lewie, Heart Skips Beat, 1980
