Dance with Me

And when the war was over

I went dancing in the streets

With the corpse of my dead brother

To the sacrificial beat

The Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires

Came home from overseas

Singing Glory Hallelujah!

To the swank Gestapo beat

Hallelujah, hallelujah

I've never been

In the whole of my life

An intelligent sacrifice

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Give me a reason

To go on believing

And I'm ready

To pay the price

I heard of a plan

In the president's mansion

(High up in the sky)

It called for a sacrifice

And my brother paid the price

Sent him home in a bag,

The American flag

Was draped around the box

And the coffin lid was locked

And the note said Thanks a lot

Come and dance with me

Come and dance with me

I'm home from overseas

I'm a corpse up to my knees

Celebrate the victory

Do you want to dance

And hold me tight?

I'm feeling most diseased

And I need your company

Come and dance

Come and dance, come and dance

I'm home from overseas

And I need your company

Celebrate the victory

Would you like to dance

And hold me tight?

I'm feeling most diseased

But I'm easier to please

Come and dance, come and dance
