"Pippin" on War

[Taverner]

Now listen to me closely I'll endeavor to explain
What separates a charlatan from a Charlemagne
A rule confessed by generals illustrious and various
Though pompous as a Pompey or daring as a Darius
A simple rule that every good man knows by heart
It's smarter to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart

And if the fates feel frivolous
And all our plans they smother
Well suppose this war does shrivel us
There'll always be another!
