Bilingual
16 military wives
32 softly focused brightly colored eyes
Staring at the natural tan
Of 32 gently clenching wrinkled little hands
17 company men
Out of which only 12 will make it back again
Sergeant sent a letter to five
Military wives whose tears drip down to ten little eyes
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
15 celebrity minds
Living their 15 sordid wretched checkered lives
Will they find the solution in time
Using their 15 pristine moderate liberal minds?
18 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

14 cannibal kings
Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring
15 celebrity minds
Served on a leafy bed of 16 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
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da (whoo)
