War Toys
From The Raging Grannies Songbook edited by Jean McLaren and Heide Brown, 1993
Tune: School Days
War toys, war toys, good old fashioned war toys
From popguns, tin soldiers and wooden swords
Rambo, machine guns and Skeletors
These are the things for which they yearn
Think of the useful stuff kids learn
Like how to inflict a laser burn on all of their buddies at school,
(Kazoo and dance the next three lines)
…If they can’t have what’s on TV
They’re screwed up psychologically
They must be prepared for World War III
While they’re still impressionable kids
