Jan Buckingham - CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS Lyrics

When Kennedy was president of the USA
Russian missiles sat in Cuba and the Cold War raged
We messed up and appologies were sent across the pond
We got real nervous waiting for Khruhchev to respond
At first he said forget it - but a second message came
It said that we might go to war - and the US was to blame
JFK ignored that note - responding to the first
Thanked Khrushchev for his understanding and no war occurred
I'm gonna treat you like the Cuban Missile Crisis
Ignore all your insults - Respond to what is nicest
I'll say I love you - Close my eyes to all your vices
We're gonna make it through thanks to the Cuban Missile Crisis
You run hot and cold - when it comes to you and me
One minute you profess your love - The next, you wanna leave
I'm gonna turn the other cheek - when you give me dirty looks
And apply the lesson that I learned in my history book
I'm gonna treat you like the Cuban Missile Crisis
Ignore all your insults - Respond to what is nicest
I'll say I love you - Close my eyes to all your vices
We're gonna make it through thanks to the Cuban Missile Crisis
Relationships and politics can be a living hell
Unless you play the game like our leader did so well
I'm gonna treat you like the Cuban Missile Crisis
Ignore all your insults - Respond to what is nicest
I'll say I love you - Close my eyes to all your vices
We're gonna make it through thanks to the Cuban Missile Crisis
Yeah, we're gonna make it through thanks to the Cuban Missile Crisis
