[Narrator (Roger Hart):]
Ladies and gentlemen, we now take you to Valley Forge, Christmas 1775.
You are there...
Any resemblance between this situation and present or future conflicts is purely coincidental.. (As we approach the camp, we see and hear men marching and talking,
huddled together in small groups to keep warm. The General rides by on his horse,
and we close in on the dissertation of one lonely soldier).
It's Christmas time at last
I thought I'd get a pass
But I'm stuck at Valley Forge
Behind our General George
He says we got to fight
No matter wrong or right
And so we fight the war
I wonder what it's for?
The General says we'll lose
If we don't pay our dues
But it's hard to see the foe
They're hiding in the snow
We're losing lots of men
The quota's up again
Our casualties are high
But so's the sky..
It's cold out, cold out
Sold out, sold out
Hold out, hold out, but cold out
Cold out, hold out
Sold out, sold out
Hold out, hold out, cold out..
Fa la, la, la, la,
Fa la, la, la, la,
Fa la,la, la,la,
la, la, la, la,la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
