Gulf War fighting, had me a blast
Gulf War loving, I thought it would
I met a girl, armored like me
I met a boy, legged on his knees
Gulf War days can be a pain
But, ha, oh those Gulf Wars nights

Wella, wella, wella, uh
Tell me more, tell me more
“Is he as good as I hear?”
Tell me more, tell me more,
“Like, did you give her your spear?”

Shoo bop, shoo bop, shoo bop
Shoo be doo shoo, shoo bop

She went by me, got in a wrap
Then he speared me, I felt like a sap
We lost our lives, fell to the ground
We laughed it off, rolling around
Something’s up, the fighting is done
And now, to those Gulf Wars nights

Wella, wella, wella, uh
Tell me more, tell me more
“Was he a chivalrous guy?”
Tell me more, tell me more
“did she put up a fight?

Shoo bop, shoo bop, shoo bop
Shoo be doo shoo, shoo bop

Took her strolling down the Green Dragon Way
I fought a tourney, he stopped by to say “hey”
We hit the merchants, she clung to my arm
He paid for dinner, he was so full of charm
Gulf Wars flings aren’t what they seem
But, oh, oh those Gulf Wars nights

Wella, wella, wella, uh
Tell me more, tell me more
“did you joust with your lance?”
tell me more, tell me more
“like does he like to dance?”

Shoo bop, shoo bop, shoo bop
Shoo be doo shoo, shoo bop

He got friendly, carried my shield
She got friendly, I thought she would yield
We took a horse ride and saw the whole site
We talked all day and into the night
Gulf War heat, boy and girl meet,
Then on to those Gulf Wars nights…

Wella, wella, wella, uh
Tell me more, tell me more
“Did you meet all his friends?”
Tell me more, tell me more
“So, how did it end?”

(slowly)
The war was over, Court came and went
So I told her, “we’d still be friends”
Then he made..a courtly bow..
Wonder who…she’s fighting now?
Gulf Wars dreams, ripped at the seams
But..Ahhhh..those Gulf Wars…Nights!!!!!

..Tell me more…Tell me more….!
