Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun

Now the right things, the wrong things

No more excuses to come
Just one step at a time
And the war has begun


Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begun


She’s run away, she’s run away
And she ran so bitterly
Now call to your colours, friend

Don’t you call to me

Just a roll, just a roll

Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begun


Don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry upon the sea

Don’t you cry, don’t you cry
For your lady and me


Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun
Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begun
