TV's on, the favourite son is watching how the West was won
AmGDsus2
Daddy, please, a plastic gun, get brother one for twice the fun
AmGFC
Little camo helmet heads, making brave and playing dead
GDsus2
And missiles made of gingerbread, dollars on the dime
CHORUS:
AmCGAm
Hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show
CGDsus2
The merchant kings of war and woe, have turned their hands to labour
AmCGAm
Sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
CGAm
Someone's dread and darling boy, has fallen on his sabre
AmGCDsus2
Another world across the sea, home for little busy bees
AmGDsus2
Sweating in some factory, hurry please, more of these
AmGFC
Action dolls with laser sights, robot planes that shoot at night
GDsus2
Faster kid, and get it right, they're rolling down the line
CHORUS
AmCGAm
Hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show
CGDsus2
The merchant kings of war and woe, have turned their hands to labour

Sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
CGAm
Someone's dread and darling boy, has fallen on his sabre

AmGCDsus2
These days the spin machine is always on the silver screen
AmGDsus2
Secret plots and submarines, foreign fiends and magazines
AmGFC
Wave the flag and watch the news and tell us we can count on you
GDsus2
'Cause Mom and Dad are marching too, children, step in time
CHORUS
AmCGAm
Hey ho, so it goes, the point of sale, the puppet show

The merchant kings of war and woe, have turned their hands to labour
AmCGAm
Sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy
CGAm
Someone's dread and darling boy, has fallen on his sabre
AmGCDsus2
So bring your kids and coddled pets, bouncing babes in bassinets
AmGDsus2
We'll play a game with tanks and jets, better yet, bayonets
AmGFC
Marching bands and colour-guards, funerals in your own back yard
GDsus2
Don't forget your credit card, Johnny, hold the line____
