John Wayne was always bald

And he had a woman's name

Valentino was a momma's boy

He cried in his tent all night long

And Harry Truman finally

Dropped the bomb

So they could go to sleep at night



I got a plaque up on the wall

and an office in the sky

I give birth to major deals

Lookin' down on the passersby

I pass the torch, I follow the code

I'm steerin' straight ahead

No, I don't stray the road



To be a warrior with a king

To put your hand in the flame

Without burning

And go to sleep at night



John Wayne was always bald

And he had a woman's name

Valentino was a momma's boy

I cried in my tent all night long

And Harry Truman finally dropped the bomb

So I could go to sleep at night

Now...go to sleep...
