My Man o' War lyrics

I got myself a military man

And now I'm almost in hysterics

He has me living on the Army plan

You'd think my parlour was the barracks

It's so peaceful when he's gone

But when he's home, the war is on

My flat looks more like an armory

Takes out his bugle, when he calls me

At night he's drilling me constantly

He's my man o' war

When he advances, can't keep him back

So systematic in his attack

All my resistance is bound to crack

For my man o' war

He never misses, when he brings up

His big artillery

Bullets like kisses, that hit the mark

With such rapidity

His operations, they always increase

It seems his movements will never cease

At night he always disturbs the peace

He's my man o' war

I'm always baring the battle brunt

Crazy for action he's on the hunt

You're sure to find him right at the front

He's my man o' war

He storms my trench and he's not afraid

His bayonet makes me just cry for aid

Oh, how he handles his hand grenade

He's my man o' war

If I'm retreating, he goes around

And he gets me in the rear

He keeps repeating a flank attack

Till victory is near

And when he turns his machine gun loose

Then I surrender, for there's no use

He makes me throw up my flag of truce

He's my man o' war
