My Man O' War - Lizzie Miles I got myself a military man And now I'm almost in hysterics He had me living on an Army plan You'd think my parlour was the barracks It's so peaceful when he's gone But when he's home the war is on My flat looks more like an armory Takes his bugle when he calls me At night he's drilling me constantly He's my man o' war When he advances can't keep him back So systematc in his attack All my resistance is bound to crack For my man o' war He never misses when he brings up his big artillery Bullet like kisses that hit the mark with such rapidity His operations always increase It seems his movements will never cease At home he always disturbs the peace He's my man o' war I'm always baring the battle brunt Crazy for action he's on the hunt You're sure to find him right at the front He's my man o' war He storms my trench and he's not afraid His bayonet makes me cry for aid Oh how he handles his hand grenade He's my man o' war If I'm retreating he goes around and gets me in the rear He keeps repeating a flank attack till victory is near And when he turns his machine gun loose Then I surrender for there's no use He makes me throw up my flag of truce He's my man o' war
