[E]
Sixteen [G] military wives, [A] thirty-two softly focused, [E] brightly colored eyes
Staring at the [G] national fan, thirty [A]-two gently clenching [Em] wrinkled little [E] hands
[A] Seventeen [B] company men, out of [C#] which [C#m] only twelve [D] will make [A] it back again
[E] Charge sends a letter [G] divine, military [A] wives tear-stripped down [E] to ten little eyes
Cheer [B] them on to their rivals, cause [A] America [E] can't, and [A] America [E] can't say [B] no
And [A] America [E] does if [A] America [E] said it [B] should, it should
And [F#m] the anchor person on [A] TV [E] goes la-da-da-da-da
Fifteen [G] celebrity minds, leading [A] their fifteen sordid wretched [E] checkered lives
Will define the [G] solution in time, [A] using their fifteen pristine moderate [E] liberal minds
[A] Eighteen [B] academy chairs, [C#m] out of which only [D] seven really [A] even care
[E] Doling out [G] a garland of fines, [A] celebrity minds they're humbly taken [E] by surprise
Cheer [B] them on to their rivals, [A] cause America [E] can't, and [A] America [E] can't say [B] no
