Lyrics

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 fall-out zone
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb-dumb
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Dub-a-dumb-dumb-dub-a-dub
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb-dumb
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Dub-a-dumb-dumb-dub-a-dub
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Wish I was at home for Christmas
Bang! That's another bomb on another town
While the Tsar 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
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb-dumb
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Dub-a-dumb-dumb-dub-a-dub
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb-dumb
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
Dub-a-dumb-dumb-dub-a-dub
Dub-a-dub-a-dumb
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
