Lay down your arms

Lay em down lay em down now

Lay down your arms

Newsreels rattle the nazi dread

The able bodied have shipped away

Molly mcgee gets her tea leaves read

You'll be married in a month they say

These leaves are crazy

Look at this town there's 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 she's leaving but she don't go

Out of the blue just passing 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

Nothing 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 summer's just a sneeze in a long long bad-winter cold

She says I'm leaving here but she don't go

Sleep little darling This is your happy home

Hiroshima cannot be pardoned

Don't 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 I'm leaving here but she don't go

She plants her garden in the spring

They do the winter shovelling
