Lyrics (Chorus 1)
War is Naughty, Naughty Naughty
People who go to war are Naughty People
Wars are Naughty, the People are Naughty,
and anyone who starts one should be sent to bed early
(Chorus 2)
War is Naughty, Really Naughty
even the smaller ones are Fairly Naughty
cos they could get bigger, and be like the big ones, which I think I covered in some depth already.
WAR!
(Verse 1)
What we're saying, is that war makes people dead
Instead of being still alive instead,
and if that sounds rad to you, you must've lost a screw
you must be rather funny in the head, I mean, right?
WAR!
(Chorus 2)
War is Naughty, Really Naughty
and the people who start them must be really spoiled people
they're fairly brought up, and the man who brought up
the idea in the first place must be downright pissy.
(Repeat Chorus 1)
