Wartime Wonderland

Wartime Wonderland

I wrote this after having read all the reports of the Georgains
and Russians fighting and all of the other politicians gleefully
rattling their sabers internationally.

(sung to the tune of Winter Wonderland)


Sabers rattle
Are ya listenin'
In the field
bombs are droppin'
Scary sight
We're freakin' tonight
Walkin' in a Wartime Wonderland

Gone away is the blubird
here to stay is a new bird
Dive bombing all day long
as we run along
Walkin' in a Wartime Wonderland

In the basement we can build a shelter
Sit and swelter
When the red cross shows up
They'll ask: Are you injured?
We'll say: No sir
But the troops can do that
When we go to town

Later on
We'll retire
Sittin' by the fire
That used to be our home
And wait for the next air raid
Walikin' in a Wartime Wonderland

In the UN refugee center
we can sit holding the splinter
that used to be the front door
To our house
Walkin' in a Wartime Wonderland

Walkin' in a Wartime Wonderland
Walkin' in a Wartime Wonderland
