The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms)
Lay down your arms
Lay em down lay em down now
Lay down your arms
Newsreels rattle the nazi dread
The able bodied have shipped away
Molly mcgee gets her tea leaves read
You'll be married in a month they say
These leaves are crazy
Look at this town there's no men left
Just frail old boys and babies
Talking to teacher in the treble clef
She plants her garden in the spring
She does the winter shovelling
Tokyo rose on the radio
She says she's leaving but she don't go
Out of the blue just passing thru
A young flight sergeant On two weeks leave
Says molly mcgee no one else will do
And seals the tea leaf prophecy
Oh these nights are strong and soft
Private passions and secret storms
Nothing about him ticks her off
And he looks so cute in his uniform
She plants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shovelling
But summer's just a sneeze in a long long bad-winter cold
She says I'm leaving here but she don't go
Sleep little darling This is your happy home
Hiroshima cannot be pardoned
Don't have kids when you get grown
Because this world is shattered
The wise are mourning
The fools are joking
Oh what does it matter
The wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking
She plants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shovelling
The three of em laughing round the radio
She says I'm leaving here but she don't go
She plants her garden in the spring
They do the winter shovelling
