[Cho:]
They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through,
That's a promise to you, that the mail will go through.
There'll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through,
What a wonderful change that will be.
Yessir, modern life is scary, it's sure tough on me and thee.
It's hard to count on anything these days,
But when things get too hairy with their insecurity,
We can count on the Post Office, Lord be praised.
They say we'll all be cinders in the end,
But there's one bright hope on which we may depend.
[Cho:]
The announcement was so welcome, it allayed our deepest fears.
It was met with heartfelt cheers as we sank a couple o' beers.
We can write to all our loved ones saying, We're no longer here,
And the mail will go through.
[Cho:]
When the final war is over and it's been a great success,
We've been powdered, more or less - comes the mail man express.
He'll come sifting through the ashes till he finds the right address,
And the mail will go through.
[Cho:]
So the future can't be all bad, there's a lot you've got to
like.
If they've vaporized your bike you can take a little hike,
And get your letter in the chute between the first and second
strike,
And the mail will go through.
[Cho:]
