Music for the Ball
My friend Jonny he went to war,
We fought together till the bullets tore,
Through his legs right where it stands,
Now Jonny says he’s half a man.
Why can’t we all just get along,
And sing together one more song?
The times have changed, but the song remains the same.
Just play the music for the ball.
I went with Jonny to the church one day,
They passed around the old collection plate.
The preacher said, “This is for Jonny,
For all the brave things he has done.”
Jonny said, “I ain’t the one.”
I saw Jonny with his girl,
He took her by the hand and he gave her a twirl.
They danced all night till Jonny felt he was right,
Then he walked out of the door.
Why can’t we all just get along,
And sing together one more song?
The times have changed, but the song remains the same.
Just play the music for the ball.
