Текст песни: The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms) + перевод

Newsreels rattle the Nazi dread

The able bodied have shipped away

Molly McGee gets her tea leaves read

You’ll be married in a month they say

These leaves are crazy

Just look at this town there’s no men left

Just frail old boys and babies

Talking to teacher in the treble clef

She plants her garden in the spring

She does the winter shoveling

Tokyo Rose is talking on the radio

She says, ?I'm leaving here?, but she don’t go

Out of the blue, just passing through

A young flight sergeant on two weeks leave says

«Molly McGee, no one else will do»

And he seals the tea leaf prophecy

Oh, those nights are strong and soft

Private passions and secret storms

Nothing about him ticked her off

And he looks so cute in his uniform

She plants her garden in the spring

He does the winter shoveling

But summer’s just a sneeze in a long, long, bad winter cold

Soon she says, «I'm leaving here», but she don’t go

Sleep, little darling

This is your happy home

Hiroshima cannot be pardoned

Don’t have kids when you get grown

This world is shattered

The wise are mourning, the fools are joking

Oh, what does it matter

The wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking

She plants her garden in the spring

He does the winter shoveling

Now there’s three of them laughing 'round the radio

She says, «I'm leaving here», but she don’t go

She plants her garden in the spring

They do the winter shoveling

They sit up late and watch the Johnny Carson Show

She says, «I'm leaving here?, but she don’t go, she don’t go
