A king of foreign country heard some rumours in the night That some other evil king is now preparing for a fight He assembles all his generals And asks them what to do And with sternness in their eyes they look at him and say it’s true
We’re in the war; oh we’re in the war We’re in the war; oh we’re in the war
They’re preparing thousand battleships to sail across the sea And the general ahead them are happy as can be When they reach the other shore they get a warm embrace But the generals feel threatened so they shoot them in the face
In the war oh we’re in the war We’re in the war oh we’re in the war
And in the war you can kill for no reason, it’s no crime In the war you do the things you always had in mind In the war you can die In the war you can cry In the war, in the war, in the war
And the fairies and the elves are just trying to survive And the lions and the elephants are running for their lives And the generals are firing seven hundred cannon balls But no one understands what all this is for
In the war oh we’re in the war We’re in the war oh we’re in the war
And in the war you can kill for no reason, it’s no crime In the war you do the things you always had in mind In the war you can die In the war you can cry In the war, in the war, in the war
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, in the war Oh, in the war
And now a thousand battle ships are landing on the shore And one hundred thousand soldiers don’t know what they’re looking for For they cannot find their enemies, no weapons and no war So they start to shoot each other ’Cause that’s what they’ve been trained for
In the war oh we’re in the war We’re in the war oh we’re in the war
And in the war you can kill for no reason, it’s no crime In the war you do the things you always had in mind In the war you can die In the war you can cry In the war, in the war, in the war
