One brother wore blue
One brother wore gray
One brother went
One brother stayed
One brother's here
One brother's there
Oh, where shall I fight
Oh, what shall I wear?

I'm gonna wear my tight blue pants
And my gray sport jacket
And stay at home with the girls
Now, now, now
I don't want to get to Gettysburg
No, no, no, no
I got a protest sign
And a bottle of wine
And my baby and I are gonna
Go, go, go, go
Now, Grant and Lee
Don't mean nothin' to me
And fightin's nothin' but a bore
I'll wear my tight blue pants
And my gray sport jacket
And to hell with the Civil War
