Lysistrata, open up the bedroom door
   What is the matter, ain't you in love with me no more?
   I enlisted in the army today,
   One more time before I march away
   Make me feel like a big strong man
   You say you don't care about my pride,
   You love me too much just to let me die,
   And you won't let me come inside
   unless I don't go to war no more
  
   Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun,
   And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun
   Every able bodied man that I know,
   every patriot is packed to go
   Won't you give me a last goodbye
   I'll be sent off to a distant land,
   to spill my blood upon some foreign sand,
   And I may die by an enemy's hand
   And then I won't go to war no more
  
   Send the boys all back to the farm
   Tell the troops it was a false alarm,
   'Cause if I die I want to be in your arms,
   And so I won't go to war, no I won't go to war,
   said I won't go to war no more
