| And when the war was over | |
| I went dancing in the streets | |
| With the corpse of my dead brother | |
| To the sacrificial beat | |
| The Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires | |
| Came home from overseas | |
| Singing Glory Hallelujah! | |
| To the swank Gestapo beat | |
| Hallelujah, hallelujah | |
| I've never been | |
| In the whole of my life | |
| An intelligent sacrifice | |
| Hallelujah, hallelujah | |
| Give me a reason | |
| To go on believing | |
| And I'm ready | |
| To pay the price | |
| I heard of a plan | |
| In the president's mansion | |
| (High up in the sky) | |
| It called for a sacrifice | |
| And my brother paid the price | |
| Sent him home in a bag, | |
| The American flag | |
| Was draped around the box | |
| And the coffin lid was locked | |
| And the note said Thanks a lot | |
| Come and dance with me | |
| Come and dance with me | |
| I'm home from overseas | |
| I'm a corpse up to my knees | |
| Celebrate the victory | |
| Do you want to dance | |
| And hold me tight? | |
| I'm feeling most diseased | |
| And I need your company | |
| Come and dance | |
| Come and dance, come and dance | |
| I'm home from overseas | |
| And I need your company | |
| Celebrate the victory | |
| Would you like to dance | |
| And hold me tight? | |
| I'm feeling most diseased | |
| But I'm easier to please | |
| Come and dance, come and dance |
