text: Newsreels rattle the Nazi dread
  The able bodied have shipped away
  Molly McGee gets her tea leaves read
  Youll be married in a month they say
  These leaves are crazy
  Just look at this town theres no men left
  Just frail old boys and babies
  Talking to teacher in the treble clef
  She plants her garden in the spring
  She does the winter shoveling
  Tokyo Rose is talking on the radio
  She says, ?Im leaving here?, but she dont go
  Out of the blue, just passing through
  A young flight sergeant on two weeks leave says
  Molly McGee, no one else will do
  And he seals the tea leaf prophecy
  Oh, those nights are strong and soft
  Private passions and secret storms
  Nothing about him ticked her off
  And he looks so cute in his uniform
  She plants her garden in the spring
  He does the winter shoveling
  But summers just a sneeze in a long, long, bad winter cold
  Soon she says, Im leaving here, but she dont go
  Sleep, little darling
  This is your happy home
  Hiroshima cannot be pardoned
  Dont have kids when you get grown
  This world is shattered
  The wise are mourning, the fools are joking
  Oh, what does it matter
  The wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking
  She plants her garden in the spring
  He does the winter shoveling
  Now theres three of them laughing round the radio
  She says, Im leaving here, but she dont go
  She plants her garden in the spring
  They do the winter shoveling
  They sit up late and watch the Johnny Carson Show
  She says, Im leaving here?, but she dont go, she dont go
