Call me when the war is over

Call me when the war is over ~ ring me when the fighting’s done

Let me know how many died,

then tell me that we won

Did he have a son?  Did you tell him that we won?

Did he have a wife?  Does she know who took his life?

Did you tell his mother that his sister has no brother?

How’s his Daddy takin’ it?  Oh, I’m sure the old man’s shakin’ it

Call me when the war is over ~ ring me when the fightin’s done

Let me know how many died,

then tell me that we won.
