Lyrics

(Shrieks and 'Red Indian sounds' in background)
 (That famous day in history)
 (The men of the 7th cavalry went riding on)
 (And from the rear a voice was heard)
 (A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear)
 What am I doing here?
 Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
 Eh, er, Mr.Custer? Please don't make me go
 I had a dream last night about the comin' fight
 Somebody yelled "Attack!"
 And there I stood with an arrow in my back
 Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
 Oh-oh, oh.
 SPOKEN:
 Look at 'em bushes out there, they're movin'
 There's an Indian behind every one of 'em
 Er, um, Mr.Custer
 May I be excused for the rest of the afternoon, please?
 Wanna change my library book
 OY, WATCH OUT, DUCK YOUR HEAD!
 Oo-er, bit late on that one, son
 God, I bet that don't half hurt
 (They were sure of victory)
 (The men of the 7th Cavalry as they rolled on)
 (When from the rear a voice was heard)
 (That same great voice with a trembling word rang loud and clear)
 What am I doing here?
 Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
 Er, listen, er, Mr.Custer? Please don't make me go
 There's a redskin waitin'out there, waitin' to cut my hair
 A coward I've been called
 But I don't wanna wind up dead or bald
 Please Mr.Custer, I don't wanna go
 Oo-errr, err-oo
 SPOKEN:
 Now, let's see, what's the Indian word for 'friend'?
 Oh yes, I know? manyarna, yeah that's it
 Oy, you lot out there 'Manyarna'
 (Arrow whizzes by) Ooo!
 Oooh! No, that ain't it
 Look at 'em out there
 Running around like a bunch of wild Indians
 Bunch of wild Indians! Ha-ha-ha-ha
 Now this is no time for joking
 (Sound of many arrows whizzing by)
 Oo? oh? oo? help!
 Mr Custer?
 Oh my God!
 (Fades)
