Words & music by paul simon



On armistice day

The philharmonic will play


But the songs that we sing


Will be sad

Shufflin brown tunes


Hanging around, ahoo


M-m-m-m-m-m-m

No long drawn blown out excuses


Were made


When I needed a friend she was there

Just like an easy chair



Oo, oo-o


M-m-m-m-m-m-m



Armistice day






Armistice day

That's all I really wanted to say



Oh I'm weary from waiting


In washington d.c.


I'm coming to see my congressman

But he's avoiding me


Weary from waiting down in washington d.c.



Oh congresswoman


Won't you tell that congressman

I've waited such a long time


I've about waited all I can


Oh congresswoman, won't you tell that congressman
