Sixteen Military Wives

"Sixteen Military Wives" Lyrics by The Decemberists

Sixteen military wives

Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes

Staring at the natural tan

Of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands

Seventeen company men

Out of which only twelve will make it back again

Sergeant sent a letter to five

Military wives, his tears drip down to ten little eye

Cheer them on to their rivals

Cause America can, and America can’t say no

And America does, if America says it’s so

It’s so

And the anchorperson on TV goes…

La de da de da

Fifteen celebrity minds

Living their fifteen sordid wretched checkered lives

Will they find the solution in time

Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?

Eighteen academy chairs

Out of which only seven really even care

Doling out a garment to five

Celebrity minds, they’re humbly taken by surprise

Cheer them on to their rivals

Cause America can, and America can’t say no

And America does, if America says it’s so

It’s so

And the anchorperson on TV goes…

La de da de da de-dadedade-da

La de da de da de-dadedade-da

Fourteen cannibal kings

Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring

Fifteen celebrity minds

Served on a leafy bed of sixteen military wives

Cheer them on to their rivals

Cause America can, and America can’t say no

And America does, if America says it’s so

It’s so

And the anchorperson on TV goes…

La de da de da de-dadedade-da

La de da de da de-dadedade-da
