Tokyo Rose

Roselie van Leer

[Spoken]:

Hahaha, hey you know something?
World War II wasn't all that much fun
'Specially if you didn't even have a gun
Well, you know you gotta go through it if you wanna get to it
And I can tell you I did, but no thanks to a little lady
She was, uh, she, she kept us up all hours of the night
Hell, half the time we didn't have time to fight
But I don't think I would have to expound much further 'cause everyone knows 'bout Tokyo Rose

Hahaha, lemme tell you a little more. Scared?
Christ, I was so damned scared I could crawl under a snake's belly, with a top hat on, without even touching it
That's how scared I was
Shit, who wants your ass blown off when you don't even know if it's kosher
You know, kind of like when you went to school
Always breakin' the rules, thinkin' nobody knows
Haha, but don't kid yourself, baby, the lady in the classroom knows, and her name?
You got it - Tokyo Rose

Lord, have mercy
Ha, I feel like I'm teaching class
I gotta go through it all over again, 'cause you haven't learned your lessons now
I don't want to give you a bad report card, so I say, do you know that World War II wasn't fun
You got that down, Jim? Right on, especially if you didn't have a gun
Well, you know you gotta go through it if you wanna get to it
And I can tell you I did, but no thanks to a little lady
Yeah, she kept us up all hours of the night
Hell, half the time, we never had time to fight
And, uh, yeah, there's no sense of me expounding any further
