Does anybody know how long until World War Three? 
I wanna know, I have gotta book me holidee 
They want me in the army but I just can't go 
I am far too busy listening to the radio 
The whole thing's daft I don't know why you have to laugh or else you'll cry 
You have to live or else you'll die you have to laugh or else you'll cry 

My friends say that we're headed for a grotty time 
It's just a bit of slapstick in the pantomime 
We're headed for disaster but I just don't care 
Just shut your eyes and count to ten you won't be there 
The whole thing's daft I don't know why you have to laugh or else you'll cry 
You have to live or else you'll die you have to laugh or else you'll cry
