Lyric Armistice Day

Words & music by Paul Simon

On Armistice Day
The Philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shufflin brown tunes
Hanging around, ahoo
M-m-m-m-m-m-m
No long drawn blown out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend she was there
Just like an easy chair

Oo, Oo-o
M-m-m-m-m-m-m

Armistice Day
Armistice Day
That s all I really wanted to say

Oh I m weary from waiting
In Washington D.C.
I m coming to see my Congressman
But he s avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C.

Oh Congresswoman
Won t you tell that Congressman
I ve waited such a long time
I ve about waited all I can
Oh Congresswoman, won t you tell that Congressman
