GUEST,Bruce MacNeill Lyr Req: War Is a Card Game (Pamela Anna Polland) (5) Lyr Req: War is a Card Game 17 Oct 08


Showing my age, Nancy Ames, a pretty blonde folkish singer and guitar player, was on the TV show "That was the Week that was" back in the 60's and I remember her singing a song something like:

"War is a card game children play, when it's raining outside and they're home from school and there's nothing to do but war".

It doesn't seem to be in the database and maybe that was the only time she ever sang it. Does anyone else remember it and maybe have the lyrics? I sort of remember the tune I think. At the end, as I recall, "the rain stops and the kids give in and forget the score, throw the card on the floor. Just like it is in War." It made an impression on me at the time, although I still wound up in Vietnam for awhile.

Thanks
Bruce
