Lyric Lysistrata
Lysistrata, open up the bedroom door
What is the matter, ain t you in love with me no more?
I enlisted in the army today,
One more time before I march away
Make me feel like a big strong man
You say you don t care about my pride,
You love me too much just to let me die,
And you won t let me come inside
unless I don t go to war no more
Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun,
And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun
Every able bodied man that I know,
every patriot is packed to go
Won t you give me a last goodbye
I ll be sent off to a distant land,
to spill my blood upon some foreign sand,
And I may die by an enemy s hand
And then I won t go to war no more
Send the boys all back to the farm
Tell the troops it was a false alarm,
Cause if I die I want to be in your arms,
And so I won t go to war, no I won t go to war,
said I won t go to war no more
What is the matter, ain t you in love with me no more?
I enlisted in the army today,
One more time before I march away
Make me feel like a big strong man
You say you don t care about my pride,
You love me too much just to let me die,
And you won t let me come inside
unless I don t go to war no more
Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun,
And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun
Every able bodied man that I know,
every patriot is packed to go
Won t you give me a last goodbye
I ll be sent off to a distant land,
to spill my blood upon some foreign sand,
And I may die by an enemy s hand
And then I won t go to war no more
Send the boys all back to the farm
Tell the troops it was a false alarm,
Cause if I die I want to be in your arms,
And so I won t go to war, no I won t go to war,
said I won t go to war no more
