Lyrics for The Third Hoorah

Hoorah! Warchild, dance the days and nights away Sweet child, how do you do today? Warchild, dance the days and nights away Sweet child, how do you do today? When your back's to the wall And your luck is your all Then side with whoever you may Seek that which within lies waiting to begin The fight of your life that is everyday Dance with the warchild, the warchild, hoorah Dance with the warchild, the warchild, hoorah Warchild, dance the days and nights away Sweet child, how do you do today? Warchild, dance the days and nights away Sweet child, how do you do today? In the heart of your heart, there's the tiniest part Of an urge to live to the death With a sword on your hip and a cry on your lips To strike life in the inner child's breast Dance with the warchild, the warchild, hoorah Dance with the warchild, the warchild, hoorah Warchild, dance the days and nights away Sweet child, how do you do today? Warchild, dance the days and nights away Sweet child, how do you do today?
