Why Go To War? I
To be sung with Helen Morgan to the Jerome Kern tune
"Why Was I Born?"
(…Why am I living?)

Why go to war?
A draft board letter?
They didn't serve
And now they'd better?
They ducked the draft
   when they should not've.
They sought a lot of
Up your kazoo.

Why'd Wolfie lie?
Where were the flowers?
Why'd no one buy
Occupying powers?
Were they both fools
As we were too?
Why go to war?
Something to do...
