TITLE: MLF Lullaby
Lyrics and Chords
Sleep, baby, sleep, in peace may you slumber
No danger lurks, your sleep to encumber
We've got the missiles, peace to determine
And one of the fingers on the button will be German
/ C - G7 - / - - C C7 / F Fm C GA7 / G7 - - C /
Why shouldn't they have nuclear warheads
England says no, but they are all soreheads
I say a bygone should be a bygone
Let's make peace the way we did in Stanleyville and Saigon
{Bridge}
Once all the Germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn't happen again
We taught them a lesson in nineteen eighteen
And they've hardly bothered us since then
/ B7 - Em - / / A7 - Dm - / D7 - Dm7 G7 /
So sleep well, my darling, the sandman can linger
We know our buddies won't give us the finger
Heil - hail - the Wehrmacht, I mean the Bundeswehr
Hail to our loyal ally
MLF will scare Brezhnev
I hope he is half as scared as I
/ C - G7 - / - - C C7 / F - C A7 / Dm G7 C A7 /
/ DmA7 Dm CBb7 A7 / Dm - - G7 C F C /
