Lysistrata, open up the bedroom door

What is the matter, ain't you in love with me no more?

I enlisted in the army today,

One more time before I march away

Make me feel like a big strong man

You say you don't care about my pride,

You love me too much just to let me die,

And you won't let me come inside

unless I don't go to war no more



Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun,

And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun

Every able bodied man that I know,

every patriot is packed to go

Won't you give me a last goodbye

I'll be sent off to a distant land,

to spill my blood upon some foreign sand,

And I may die by an enemy's hand

And then I won't go to war no more



Send the boys all back to the farm

Tell the troops it was a false alarm,

'Cause if I die I want to be in your arms,

And so I won't go to war, no I won't go to war,

said I won't go to war no more
