CIVIL WAR SONG Shel Silverstein One brother wore blue, One brother wore gray, One brother went, One brother stayed, One brother's here, One brother's there, Oh, where shall I fight, Oh, what shall I wear? I'm gonna wear my tight blue pants And my gray sport jacket And stay at home with the girls. Now, now, now, I don't want to get to Gettyburg, No, no, no, no, I got a protest sign And a bottle of wine And my baby and I are gonna Go, go, go, go. Now, Grant and Lee Don't mean nothin' to me And fightin's nothin' but a bore. I'll wear my tight blue pants And my gray sport jacket And to hell with the Civil War.
