AND GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE

And you and me and General Robert E. Lee

It was the greatest love story
That was never told
A couple of kids out in the cold
They were lost in space in the forest of doom
The black mountain tops – a silver room
The bad princess – the evil duke
The dead pharaoh oh and captain Hook
No Peter Pan – no Mighty mouse
The big bad wolf bows down my house

And you and me and General Robert E. Lee

You know James Cagney he was my best friend
The facts of life – the old dead end
The butler came down said someone had to die
A murder mystery that’s never gonna fly
A story here have no fear
A world class myth is growing here
The wankers whisper and pass their beer
And Bambi grows into a beautiful deer

And you and me and General Robert E. Lee

Too much sorrow – a bright tomorrow
Lonely motion and Lindbergh cross the ocean
Desperate times – oh desperate times

There were two guitars strumming into space
Spreading that message all over the place
Ufo’s and flying cars
And telstar and the man from Mars
I don’t know what will last
A thousand years the time goes past
A thousand years – oh a thousand years

And you and me and General Robert E. Lee
And General Robert E. Lee
Tell it on TV – on Charlie Caplin’s knee
I’m around the world in 80 days
And Robert E. Lee is dress in grey
