MRS FRETWELL - COLD WAR SONG LYRICS

Mrs Fretwell's Cold War Song lyrics

OH I JUST WANNA TAKE YOU ON A HISTORY TOUR

BACK TO THE START OF THE COLD WAR

THE LEADERS HAD TO SORT OUT WHAT TO DO

COS WE'D WON WORLD WAR TWO.



THE FIRST CONFERENCE WAS IN TEHRAN

1943 THEN YALTA BEGAN

PER-CEN-TAGE DEAL WAS DONE, HITLER DIES

POTSDAM ALL IN '45.



AND THE NEXT YEAR

THE IRON CURTAIN SPEECH

SECRET TELEGRAMS

AND THEN WE MOVE TO NINETEEN FOURTY SE-EV-VEN

THE DOCTRINE AND THE MAR-SHALL PLAN

THE EAST BOUGHT IN CO-MIN-FORM

THEN THEY ADDED CO-MEC-ON

USA BACK WITH N-A-TO

STALIN BLOCKADES BE-ER-ER-LIN

...

BUT USA WIN.



THEN 1945 BRINGS THE WARSAW PACT

KRUSCHEV COMES IN, AND HUNGARY REACTS

END OF UNIT ONE, UNIT ONE

FORWARD TO '61 YEAH.



IN DIVIDED BERLIN KRUSCHEV PUT A WALL UP

AFTER FOUR SUMMITS, USA WERE OUTTA LUCK



KENNEDY SAID WALL NOT WAR, WALL NOT WAR,

HE SAID WALL NOT WALL YEAH



ARMS AND SPACE RA-AC-CE

INCREASED AT PA-C-E

LET'S MOVE OUR PLACE YEAH,

LET'S RECAP CUBA IN JUST ONE PHASE.



SIX-TY TWO, BAY OF PIGS AND THIRTEEN DAYS

CZECHOSLOVAKI-YEAH-YEAH-YEAH

SIX YEARS LATE-R-R-R

REMEMBER BRESHNEV'S DO-OC-TRINE

SORTED OUT THAT PR-OB-LEM

UNIT TWO IS DO-ON-NE

BUT WHY'D THE WAR END?

...

DE-TENTE IN THE 1970S

SALT TREATY AND HEL-SIN-KI

PROTEST AND THE VIETNAM WAR

SOVIETS GO INTO AF-GHAN-I-STAN

AND THEN WE GET TO RE-A-GAN

COLD WAR NUMBER TWO-OOO-OOO, TWO-OOO-OOO.

IN RUSSIA GORBA-CHEV'S IN CHARGE

NEW THINKING WILL, TAKE HIM FAR

TALKS IN EIGHTY FIVE SIX AND SEVEN, AND EIGHTY EIGHT.



WALL COMES DOWN IN NINETY-ONE

GANG OF EIGHT MARK GOR-BA-CHEV

BUT THEY MESSED IT UU-UU-UP, UU-UU-UP



BY CHRISTMAS NINE-TY-ONE,

SOVIET UNION IS ALL DONE

SO USA SAID YEAH, YEAH, YEAH



COLD WAR'S FINISHED.
