Lyrics and chords:

Intro: E, E, E, E

	E	G
	Sixteen military	wives

	A	E
Thirty-two	softly focused brightly colored	eyes

	E	G
	Staring at the natural	tan

	A	E
Of thirty-two	gently clenching wrinkled little	hands

	A	B
	Seventeen company	men

	C#	D	A
Out of which	only twelve will	make it back	again

	E	G
	Seargeant sent a letter to	five

	A	E
Military	wives, his tears drip down to ten little	eyes

	B
	Cheer them on to their rivals

	A	E	A	E	B
Cause	America	can, and	America	can't say	no

	A	E	A	E	B
And	America	does, if	America	says it's	so

	B
	It's so

( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )

And the anchorperson on TV goes

	E
	La de da de da

	E	G
	Fifteen celebrity	mimes

	A	E
Leaving their	fifteen sorted wretched checkered	lives

	E	G
	Will they find the solution in	time

	A	E
Using their	fifteen pristine moderate liberal	minds

	A	B
	Eighteen academy	chairs

	C#	D	A
Out of which	only seven	really even	care

	E	G
	Doling out a garment to	five

	A	E
Celebrity	mimes, they're humbly taken by sur	prise

	B
	Cheer them on to their rivals

	A	E	A	E	B
Cause	America	can, and	America	can't say	no

	A	E	A	E	B
And	America	does, if	America	says it's	so

	B
	It's so

( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )

And the anchorperson on TV goes

	E
	La de da de da de di de di de da

	E
	La de da de da de di de di de da

Bridge: E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E

	A	B
	Fourteen cannibal	kings

	C#	D	A
Wondering	blindly what the	dinner bell will	bring

	E	G
	Fifteen celebrity	mimes

	A	E
Served on a	leafy bed of sixteen military	wives

	B
	Cheer them on to their rivals

	A	E	A	E	B
Cause	America	can, and	America	can't say	no

	A	E	A	E	B
And	America	does, if	America	says it's	so

	B
	It's so

( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )

And the anchorperson on TV goes

	E
	La de da de da de di de di de da

	E
	La de da de da de di de di de da

	E
	La de da de da de di de di de da

	E
	De da de da de di de di de da

	E
	De da de da de di de di de da

Outro: E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E
