He was a big teddy bear
Ironically with little hair
Famous for his left hook
It was always more fun
When he partook

Reluctantly
Reluctantly
Reluctantly

Quit smoking at the age
Of reason
Home run king during baseball
Season
Cheated on his paper root
There was always more sun
When he partook

Reluctantly
Reluctantly
Reluctantly

Offer him a kindness
He'll kindly renege
Try it again
He'll make you beg

On the third try
You just might find
He'll be reaching
For the sky

The Reluctant Warrior
Puts down his sword
Accordingly inks
The mutual accord

And he's smiling
The Reluctant Warrior
Is smiling

There he is
Flying like a kite
The world is safe
For another night

You look good
With your head up high
Life can be
A lullaby

Reluctantly
Reluctantly
Reluctantly
