Just One Of Those Wars
(Sung to the tune "Just One Of Those Things")

It was just one of those chores –
Just one of those dreadful bores –
One of those hells that now and then gells –
Just one of those wars.

But it was soon one of those fights –
Soon one of those special delights –
One lucky chance to show who wears pants –
One of my birthrights.

If we'd thought a bit, we'd have ended it
   when it started going haywire.
We'd have been aware Wolfie's love affair
   was a fraud due to expire.

Say goodbye to my playpen.
Vote for me. We'll do it again.
It was great fun,
Though it was just one of those wars.
