Pete Seeger| VAL SHENSON sends along these additional verses for "Andorra",... | |
| So I went down to Westminster my newspaper in hand I spoke to every member of Maggie Thatcher's band I said, See what they've done in Andorra they put us all to shame If they can do it so can we, we`ll get there just the same But the general said, My dear boy you just don't understand We need these things to feel secure in our great and glorious land I said, If security's what you need I'll buy a couch for you A psychiatrist is cheaper and a damn sight safer too | One day a councilman rose to say, "I think we're behind the times, we ought to increase the war budget by at least a couple of dimes" but the c.n.v. said "no siree, you keep to the figure set or you'll surely ruin the economy and swell the nation debt I want to go to Andorra Andorra Andorra I want to go to Andorra It’s the land that I adore They spend four dollars and ninety cents on armaments and their defense did you ever see such confidence Andorra hip hooray and the people paraded around the square, to the sound of fife and drum and the council finally had to vote to stick to the given sum. and no whenever a visiting king comes 'round and they fire a grand salute, they shoot away half of the war budget, and nobody gives ,a hoot. I want to go to Andorra Andorra Andorra I want to go to Andorra it's the land that I adore they spend four dollars and ninety cents on armaments and their defense did you ever see such confidence Andorra hip hooray |
