They' re at the top whew they've been all their lives 
Parliament heroes and government spies 
with a model landscape and toy soldiers 
Hatch the plot and g we their orders 

With people's lives they scheme and plot 
War manoeuvres on s table top 
With a grid reference and a grid square 
To pinpoint the enemy exactly there 

Churchill, Mountbatten, Montgomery too 
All the heroes from World War Two

While the troops were out there 
Countin' their days 
It was these men who were taking the praise 
Pushing plastic aircraft on a big map 
smoking cigars and talking crap 

Churchill, Mountbatten, Montgomery too 
All the heroes from World War Two
