Lyrics

[Intro]
Fetchez la vache!
Run away!
Run away!
Run away?
Run away!
Run away!
[Verse 1]
Run away! Run away!
Run away from the stench and the trenches
Run away! Run away!
From these horrible, nasty old Frenchies
These frogs and their terrible prattle
Are fighting a battle with cattle
We're all full of fear, so let's get out of here
Run away, run away, run away!
[Bridge]
You English all are bugger folk
Your mothers all are rugger folk
Your army is a bloody joke
You couldn't beat an artichoke
If battle you choose to renew
We'll taunt you till you all turn blue
We turn our asses as you part
In your direction, we all fart
[Bridge]
Fetchez la can-can dancers!
[Refrain]
Run away! Run away!
Run away! Run-run-run-run-run-run, run away!
Run away! Run away!
Run away! Run away!
[Refrain]
Run away!
[Verse 2]
Run away! Run away!
It seems like a helpful solution
Run away! Run away!
To avoid this French revolution!
We're stuck in a nasty position
Why don't you take a short intermission?
Have a drink and a pee, we'll be back for Act Three
[Bridge]
Two, sir!
Two!
[Outro]
Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!
Run-run-run-run, run away! Run away!
