War Games Lyrics

Of course you may

Go out and play

But darling, please play gently

Don't stay out late

Be home for tea

Or you know I'm bound to worry

Sticks and stones

For swords and guns

The harmless toys of childhood

You play at fighting

You learn to run

Always playing war games

Of course you must

Go and join the boys

Fighting over the water

But write to me

Tenderly

For you know I'm bound to worry

Sticks and stones

For swords and guns

The harmless toys of childhood

You play at fighting

You learn to run

Always playing war games

A letter came

From the powers that be

It's words, they tore right through me

My darling boy

My only son

I was right to worry

Sticks and stones

For swords and guns

The harmless toys of childhood

You play at fighting

You learn to run

Always playing war games
