Lyrics

The Reluctant Warrior
Timothy Underberry
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
