Dear Kinky Friedman, I read what you wrote
G
Neville Chamberlain surrender monkeys - yup, that was your quote
Fm C
Well, we all say stupid things sometimes, so here with my blessing
Fm C G C
Kinky Friedman this is your history lesson
C C Fm C
Chamberlain declared war, on the 3rd of September
C G
The US wasn't involved, as I remember
Fm C
And after Poland fell, then Belgium and France
Fm C G C
Britain stood alone with barely a chance
E Am
We faced Hitler down; he unleashed the blitz
E Am
A hundred nine elevens that left London in bits
F C
But we never caved in, Britain never surrendered
G C
No petition for peace, Kinky, was ever fuckin' tendered
[Chorus]
F
Oh Kinky Friedman
C
Dude quit your messin'
G
And listen up good
C
This is your history lesson
[Verse 2]
C Fm C
Roosevelt helped us, with armaments and food
C G
His vision was sure, and his policy good
Fm C
He'd have brought the USA, into the war on our side
Fm C G C
But the isolationists, had both his hands tied
E Am
Stay out, Stay Out was your public's demand
E Am
Till the Japs hit Pearl Harbour, and that forced your hand
F C
Then your boys fought like lions but so the hell did ours
Fm C G C
Only an asshole, Kinky, could call the British cowards
[Chorus]
F
Oh Kinky Friedman
C
Take some quiet time processing
G
These words of mine
C
Your history lesson
[Verse 3]
Fm C
And here's a casualty count for you to muse upon, man
G
Military personnel and civilians killed in the theatre of world war two
C Fm
USA: four hundred and nineteen thousand and four hundred
C
Great Britain: four hundred and fifty thousand and nine hundred
G
And just to keep perspective
C Fm
USSR: twenty-seven million... or thereabouts
C
Yeah war is no joke
G
And my friend you misspoke
C
Or so I'm guessin'
F
But take this well, Buddy
C
And may it ease your soul
