"Armistice Day" lyrics
On Armistice Day
The Philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shuffling brown tunes
Hanging around
No long-drawn, blown-out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend, she was there
Just like an easy chair
Armistice Day
Armistice Day
That's all I really wanted to say
Oh, I'm weary from waiting
In Washington, D.C.
I'm coming to see my congressman
But he's avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington, D.C.
Oh, congresswoman
Won't you tell that congressman
I've waited such a long time
I've about waited all I can
Oh, congresswoman
Won't you tell that congressman
The Philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shuffling brown tunes
Hanging around
No long-drawn, blown-out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend, she was there
Just like an easy chair
Armistice Day
Armistice Day
That's all I really wanted to say
Oh, I'm weary from waiting
In Washington, D.C.
I'm coming to see my congressman
But he's avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington, D.C.
Oh, congresswoman
Won't you tell that congressman
I've waited such a long time
I've about waited all I can
Oh, congresswoman
Won't you tell that congressman
