Armistice Day Lyrics

Words & music by Paul Simon 

On Armistice Day

The Philharmonic will play

But the songs that we sing

Will be sad

Shufflin brown tunes

Hanging around, ahoo

M-m-m-m-m-m-m

No long drawn blown out excuses

Were made

When I needed a friend she was there

Just like an easy chair

Oo, Oo-o

M-m-m-m-m-m-m

Armistice Day

Armistice Day

That's all I really wanted to say

Oh I'm weary from waiting

In Washington D.C.

I'm coming to see my Congressman

But he's avoiding me

Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C.

Oh Congresswoman

Won't you tell that Congressman

I've waited such a long time

I've about waited all I can

Oh Congresswoman, won't you tell that Congressman
