Lyrics and chords:
Intro: E, E, E, E
E Sixteen military Gwives
Thirty-two Asoftly focused brightly colored Eeyes
E Staring at the natural Gtan
Of thirty-two Agently clenching wrinkled little Ehands
A Seventeen company Bmen
Out of which C#only twelve will Dmake it back Aagain
E Seargeant sent a letter to Gfive
Military Awives, his tears drip down to ten little Eeyes
B Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause AAmerica Ecan, and AAmerica Ecan't say Bno
And AAmerica Edoes, if AAmerica Esays it's Bso
BIt's so
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
ELa de da de da
E Fifteen celebrity Gmimes
Leaving their Afifteen sorted wretched checkered Elives
E Will they find the solution in Gtime
Using their Afifteen pristine moderate liberal Eminds
A Eighteen academy Bchairs
Out of which C#only seven Dreally even Acare
E Doling out a garment to Gfive
Celebrity Amimes, they're humbly taken by surEprise
B Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause AAmerica Ecan, and AAmerica Ecan't say Bno
And AAmerica Edoes, if AAmerica Esays it's Bso
BIt's so
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
ELa de da de da de di de di de da
ELa de da de da de di de di de da
Bridge: E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E
A Fourteen cannibal Bkings
Wondering C#blindly what the Ddinner bell will Abring
E Fifteen celebrity Gmimes
Served on a Aleafy bed of sixteen military Ewives
B Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause AAmerica Ecan, and AAmerica Ecan't say Bno
And AAmerica Edoes, if AAmerica Esays it's Bso
BIt's so
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
ELa de da de da de di de di de da
ELa de da de da de di de di de da
ELa de da de da de di de di de da
EDe da de da de di de di de da
EDe da de da de di de di de da
