Yankee Go Home
Oh GI Joe put your gun away The sun is setting on another day Why don't you leave us alone? Yankee go home! They're burning effigies out in the street Man the life boats, sound the retreat Pentagon's on the 'phone Yankee go home! You can't just kiss and run away There ain't enough money on a sergeant's pay When the dancehall girl you banged's in the family way Oh you turned my sister into a whore With a pair of silk stockings from the PX store Why don't you leave us alone? Yankee go home! Yankee go home! Just go home! My girlfriend still won't talk to me Since she met with a sailor from the land of the free I'm tired of being alone Yankee go home! I lost count of the chewing gum that I've had And coca-cola make my teeth go bad SongtexteWe'll handle this on our own Yankee go home! Dow Jones going into a stall Spray paint saying it on every wall The climb was fine, now it's time to decline and fall Over-paid, over-sexed and over here Get smart, gringo, disappear The Hun's at the gates of Rome Yankee go home! Yankee go home! Go home! Go home! Go home! Aus Songtexte Mania
