Harry Truman Lyrics - Partyball - Stan Ridgway

John Wayne was always bald 

And he had a woman's name 

Valentino was a momma's boy 

He cried in his tent all night long 

And Harry Truman finally 

Dropped the bomb 

So they could go to sleep at night 

I got a plaque up on the wall 

and an office in the sky 

I give birth to major deals 

Lookin' down on the passersby 

I pass the torch, I follow the code 

I'm steerin' straight ahead 

No, I don't stray the road 

To be a warrior with a king 

To put your hand in the flame 

Without burning 

And go to sleep at night 

John Wayne was always bald 

And he had a woman's name 

Valentino was a momma's boy 

I cried in my tent all night long 

And Harry Truman finally dropped the bomb 

So I could go to sleep at night 

Now...go to sleep...
