Yankee Go Home – Richard ThompsonBy G.I. Joe put your gun awayThe sun is setting on another dayWhy don’t you leave me aloneYankee go homeThey’re burning effigies out in the streetMan the lifeboats, sound the retreatPentagon’s on the phoneYankee go homeYou can’t just kiss and run awayThere ain’t enough money on a sergeant’s payWhen the dance hall girl you banged’s in the family wayYou turned my sister into a whoreWith a pair of silk stockings from the p.x. storeWhy don’t you leave use aloneYankee go homeMy girlfriend won’t talk to meSince she met with a sailor from the land of the freeI’m tired of being aloneYankee go homeI’ve lost count of the chewing gum that I’ve hadAnd vodka-cola make my teeth go badWe’ll handle this on our ownYankee go homeDow Jones going into a stallSpray paint saying it on every wallThe climb was fine, now it’s time to decline and fallOverpaid, oversexed and over hereGet smart, gringo, disappearThe Hun’s at the gates of RomeYankee go home www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
