There's an epidemic
Stirring passions in young hearts
Even the old campaigners
Have got it really bad
Well we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day
But when the street parties sound
I'm going underground
To keep the rabid hounds at bay
Oh my my this war dance
ย
A patriotic romance
ย
No we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day
But when the tickatape flies
And blood is on the rise
You know it's got you in its sway
You got yourself a war dance
ย
There's a cheap sensation
Keeping Fleet Street wide awake
Everyone wants a slice of
The jingoistic cake
And they're resurrecting Churchill
And bringing national service back
Fueling power and glory fever
Makes for a sicker Union Jack
Yes I'm talking about this war dance
ย
A patriotic romance
ย
And I know all you poets
Have seen it all before
About the stirring of those young hearts
Back in the first world war
Oh, my, my, this war dance
ย
Patriotic romance
ย
This war dance
ย
Gotta hold on tree dance
ย
Oh, my, my, my, war dance
The stirring of those young hearts, young hearts
War dance, um, war dance
ย
