Jump down the shelters to get away The boys are cockin' up their guns Tell us general, is it party time? If it is can we all come
Don't think that we don't know Don't think that we're not trying Don't think we move too slow It's no use after crying Saying
CHORUS It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake
After the laughter has died away And all the boys have had their fun No surface noise now, not much to say They've got the bad guys on the run
Don't try to say you're sorry Don't say he drew his gun They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie He's not the only one Saying
CHORUS
Tell us commander, what do you think? 'Cos we know that you love all that power Is it on then, are we on the brink? We wish you'd all throw in the towel
We'll not fade out too soon Not in this finest hour Whistle your favourite tune We'll send a card and a flower Saying
