MLF Lullaby

歌詞

A considerable amount of commotion was stirred up during the past year over the prospect of a multilateral force, known to the headline writers as MLF. Much of this discussion took place during the baseball season, so the Chronicle may not have covered it, but it did get a certain amount of publicity; and the basic idea was that a bunch of us nations, the good guys, would get together on a joint nuclear deterrent force including our current friends, like France, and our traditional friends, like Germany. Here's a song about that, called the MLF Lullaby: 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 Why shouldn't they have nuclear warheads? England says no, but they all are soreheads I say a bygone should be a bygone Let's make peace the way we did in Stanleyville and Saigon Once all the Germans were warlike and mean But that couldn't happen again We taught them a lesson in 1918 And they've hardly bothered us since then 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! M L F Will scare Brezhnev. I hope he is half as scared as I!
