text: Study war no more
  Lay down your arms
  Study war no more
  Lay em down lay em down now
  Study war no more
  Lay down your arms
  Study war no more
  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!
  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 shovelling
  Tokyo Rose on the radio
  She says shes leavin but she dont go
  Out of the blue just passin thru
  A young flight sergeant, on two weeks leave
  Says Molly McGee no one else will do!
  And seals the tea-leaf prophecy
  Oh these nights are strong and soft
  Private passions and secret storms
  Nothin about him ticks her off
  And he looks so cute in his uniform
  She plants her garden in the spring
  He does the winter shovelling
  But summers just a sneeze
  In a long long bad winter cold
  She says Im leavin here but she dont go
  Sleep little darlin!
  This is your happy home
  Hiroshima cannot be pardoned!
  Dont have kids when you get grown
  Because 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 shovelling
  The three of em laughing round the radio
  She says Im leavin here but she dont go
  She plants her garden in the spring
  They do the winter shovelling
  They sit up late and watch The Johnny Carson Show
  She says Im leavin here but she dont go
