The Mail Will Go Through |
Yes sir, modern life is scary, it’s sure tough on me and thee |
It’s hard to count on anything these days |
But when things get too hairy with their insecurity |
You can count on the Post Office, Lord be praised |
They say we’ll all be cinders in the end (in the end) |
But there’s one bright hope on which we may depend (may depend) |
They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through |
That’s a promise to you, that the mail will go through |
There’ll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through |
What a wonderful change that will be |
The announcement was so welcome; |
it allayed our deepest fears |
It was met with heartfelt cheers (hurray!) as we sank a couple o' |
Beers |
We can write to all our loved ones saying, we’re no longer here |
And the mail will go through (rain or shine) |
They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through |
That’s a promise to you, that the mail will go through |
There’ll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through |
What a wonderful change that will be |
When the final war is over and it’s been a great success |
We’ve been powdered, more or less — comes the mail man express |
He’ll come sifting through the ashes till he finds the right address |
And the mail will go through (rain or shine) |
They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through |
That’s a promise to you, that the mail will go through |
There’ll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through |
What a wonderful change that will be |
So the future can’t be all bad; |
there’s a lot you’ve got to like |
If they’ve vaporized your bike you can take a little hike |
And get your letter in the chute between the first and second strike |
And the mail will go through (rain or shine) |
They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through |
That’s a promise to you, that the mail will go through |
There’ll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through |
What a wonderful change that will be |
What a wonderful change that will be |
