Subject: Lyr Add: MODERN CANNON BALL (Carter, Boyd, Nunn) From: Gene Date: 10 Feb 09 - 12:03 PM Lyrics from website listed above. The Modern Cannon Ball Lyrics by Bill Boyd & Earl Nunn Original lyrics by A. P. Carter Far across the great Pacific To the island of Japan We've got a score to settle And the time is now at hand We've gotta send some airplanes, Fly'in o'er the sea To make this country safe for those Who love democracy The aeroplanes are hummin', Hear the angry bullets whine We're gonna have to use them To salivate the swine They'll know their days are over When the shells around them fall; We'll send this message to them On the MODERN CANNON BALL I know you've heard this story of Pearl Harbor and Luzon The spirits of the men who died, Say we must carry on; We'll blast this little island From the ocean mighty soon We'll blow them up so doggone high They'll splatter on the moon The aeroplanes are hummin', Hear the angry bullets whine We're gonna have to use them To salivate the swine They'll know their days are over When the shells around them fall; We'll send this message to them On the MODERN CANNON BALL We'll drive them from the ocean, And the islands of the sea The people will be free again Just like they ought to be On top of Fujiyama, In this yellow heathen land We're gonna plant Old Glory On the island of Japan The aeroplanes are hummin', Hear the angry bullets whine We're gonna have to use them To salivate the swine They'll know their days are over When the shells around them fall; We'll send this message to them On the MODERN CANNON BALL Gene |
