Lyrics

Yes sir, 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, may depend 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 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 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 When the final war is over and it's been a great success We've been powdered, more or less, comes the mailman express He'll come sifting through the ashes till he finds the right address And the mail will go through 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 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 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 What a wonderful change that will be
