Lyrics

[Intro]

Fetchez la vache!

Run away!

Run away!

Run away?

Run away!

Run away!

[Verse 1]

Run away! Run away!

Run away from the stench and the trenches

Run away! Run away!

From these horrible, nasty old Frenchies

These frogs and their terrible prattle

Are fighting a battle with cattle

We're all full of fear, so let's get out of here

Run away, run away, run away!

[Bridge]

You English all are bugger folk

Your mothers all are rugger folk

Your army is a bloody joke

You couldn't beat an artichoke

If battle you choose to renew

We'll taunt you till you all turn blue

We turn our asses as you part

In your direction, we all fart

[Bridge]

Fetchez la can-can dancers!

[Refrain]

Run away! Run away!

Run away! Run-run-run-run-run-run, run away!

Run away! Run away!

Run away! Run away!

[Refrain]

Run away!

[Verse 2]

Run away! Run away!

It seems like a helpful solution

Run away! Run away!

To avoid this French revolution!

We're stuck in a nasty position

Why don't you take a short intermission?

Have a drink and a pee, we'll be back for Act Three

[Bridge]

Two, sir!

Two!

[Outro]

Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!

Run-run-run-run, run away! Run away!
