LANYARD

You see my lanyard, snowy snowy white?
I love my lanyard, I wear it day and night
All looped and knotted, my little silky noose
Is closing tighter, no-one can cut it loose

You see my tall hat, this perky turkey plume?
All eyes upon me, I strut around the room
Just like a peacock, you see I'm dressed to kill
I wore my tall hat to give you all a thrill

  And my lanyard - I wanna hear it now
  Lanyard - show me you feel it now
  Lanyard - tell me you love it and
  Put your hands up in the air

You see my medals, so silver in the sun?
My shiny medals - I see that you have none
Where are your medals?  Where is your pride today?
Look at my medals, don't turn your eyes away

You see my big boots, high and glossy black?
Big boots go marching, a-rac-a-tac-a-tac
Across the country into this crummy place
Here come my big boots to smash down on your face

  And my lanyard - I wanna hear it now
  Lanyard - show me you feel it now
  Lanyard - tell me you love it and
  Put your hands up in the air

You see my holster riding on my hip?
My sleepy pistol with its checkered grip?
Here, let me show you what this toy can do
Out of its holster - I'll wake it up for you
