The Mail Will Go Through. (Privacy).

Words and Music By Tom Paxton 

Yes sir modern life is scary

It's sure tough on you and me

It's hard to count on anything these days.

But when things get too hairy with their insecurity

You 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.

Chorus:

They cm 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 would be!

The announcement was so welcome

It allayed our deepest fears.

It was met with heartfelt cheers

As we sank a couple beers.

We can write to all our loved ones 

Saying, "We're no longer here,"

And the m ail will go through.

Chorus

When the final war is over

And it's been a great success;

We've been powdered, more or less -

Comes the mail man express.

He'll come sifting through the ashes

Till he finds the right address,

And the mail will go through.

Chorus

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

Get your letter in the chute

Between the first and second strike,

And the mail will go through.
