verse 1 

    D                                    A 
Does anybody know how long to World War Three? 
  A7                             D 
I wanna know, I've gotta book me holidee. 
                                A 
They want me in the army, but I just can't go, 
    A7                            D 
I'm far too busy listening to the radio. 


[Refrão]
    D                    A 
The whole things daft, I don't know why 
    A7                        D 
You have to laugh or else you cry 
                             A 
You have to live or else you die 
    A7                        D 
You have to laugh of else you cry 

verse 2 

    D                                      A 
My friends say that we're heading for a grotty time, 
     A7                            D 
It's just a load of slapstick in a pantomime, 
      D                           A 
We're heading for disaster, but I just don't care, 
A7                                   D 
Shut your eyes and count to ten, you won't be there.

    D                    A 
The whole things daft, I don't know why 
    A7                        D 
You have to laugh or else you cry 
                             A 
You have to live or else you die 
    A7                        D 
You have to laugh of else you cry
