Jump down the shelters to get away

The boys are cockin' up their guns

Tell us general, is it party time?

If it is can we all come



Don't think that we don't know

Don't think that we're not trying

Don't think we move too slow

It's no use after crying

Saying



It's a mistake, it's a mistake

It's a mistake, it's a mistake



After the laughter as died away

And all the boys have had their fun

No surface noise now, not much to say

They've got the bad guys on the run



Don't try to say you're sorry

Don't say he drew his gun

They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie

He's not the only one saying



It's a mistake, it's a mistake

It's a mistake, it's a mistake



Tell us commander, what do you think?

'Cos we know that you love all that power

Is it on then, are we on the brink?

We wish you'd all throw in the towel



We'll not fade out too soon

Not in this finest hour

Whistle your favourite tune

We'll send a card and flower

Saying



It's a mistake, it's a mistake

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
