Tom Paxton - The Mail will go Through lyrics
[Tom Paxton - The Mail will go Through lyrics]
Yes sir, modern life is scary
It's sure tough on me and thee
It's hard to count on anything these days
But when things get too
Hairy with their insecurity
We can count on the Post Office
Lord be praised
They say we'll all be cinders in the end
But there's one bright hope on
Which we may depend, may depend
They can go and drop the big one
But the mail will go through
That's a promise to you
That the mail will go through
There'll be no one left to read it
But the mail will go through
What a wonderful change that will be
The announcement was so welcome
It allayed our deepest fears
It was met with heartfelt cheers as
We sank a couple o' beers
We can write to all our loved ones
Saying we're no longer here
And the mail will go through
They can go and drop the big one
But the mail will go through
That's a promise to you
That the mail will go through
There'll be no one left to read it
But the mail will go through
What a wonderful change that will be
When the final war is over and
It's been a great success
We've been powdered, more or less
Comes the mailman express
He'll come sifting through the ashes till
He finds the right address
And the mail will go through
They can go and drop the big one
But the mail will go through
That's a promise to you
That the mail will go through
There'll be no one left to read it
But the mail will go through
What a wonderful change that will be
So the future can't be all bad
There's a lot you've got to like
If they've vaporized your bike you
Can take a little hike
And get your letter in the chute
Between the first and second strike
And the mail will go through
They can go and drop the big one
But the mail will go through
That's a promise to you
That the mail will go through
There'll be no one left to read it
But the mail will go through
What a wonderful change that will be
What a wonderful change that will be
It's sure tough on me and thee
It's hard to count on anything these days
But when things get too
Hairy with their insecurity
We can count on the Post Office
Lord be praised
They say we'll all be cinders in the end
But there's one bright hope on
Which we may depend, may depend
They can go and drop the big one
But the mail will go through
That's a promise to you
That the mail will go through
There'll be no one left to read it
But the mail will go through
What a wonderful change that will be
The announcement was so welcome
It allayed our deepest fears
It was met with heartfelt cheers as
We sank a couple o' beers
We can write to all our loved ones
Saying we're no longer here
And the mail will go through
They can go and drop the big one
But the mail will go through
That's a promise to you
That the mail will go through
There'll be no one left to read it
