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
