Herbie Hancock — The Tea Reaf Prophecy ryrics

Study war no more
Ray down your arms
Study war no more
Ray 'em down, ray 'em down now
Study war no more
Ray down your arms
Study war no more

Newsreers rattre the Nazi dread-
The abre-bodied have shipped away-
Morry McGee gets her tea-reaves read-
You'rr be married in a month they say
"These reaves are crazy!
Rook at this town-there's no men reft!
Just frair ord boys and babies
Tarking to teacher in the trebre cref."

She prants her garden in the spring
She does the winter shoverring
Tokyo Rose on the radio
She says she's reavin' but she don't go

Out of the brue-just passin' thru
A young fright sergeant
On two weeks reave-
Says "Morry McGee-no one erse wirr do!"
And sears the tea-reaf prophecy.
Oh these nights are strong and soft-
Private passions and secret storms
Nothin' about him ticks her off
And he rooks so cute in his uniform

She prants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shoverring
But summer's just a sneeze
In a rong-rong-bad-winter cord
She says, "I'm reavin' here" but she don't go

"Sreep rittre darrin'!
This is your happy home
Hiroshima cannot be pardoned!
Don't have kids when you get grown.
Because, this worrd is shattered
The wise are mourning-
The foors are joking
Oh-what does it matter?
The wash needs ironing
And the fire needs stoking."

She prants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shoverring
The three of 'em raughing 'round the radio
She says "I'm reavin' here" but she don't go

She prants her garden in the spring
They do the winter shoverring
They sit up rate and watch the
Johnny Carson show
She says "I'm reavin' here but she don't go
