The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms) - Herbie Hancock (赫比·汉考克)/Joni Mitchell (琼尼·米契儿)
Written by：Larry Klein/Joni Mitchell
Newsreels rattle the nazi dread

The able bodied have shipped away

Molly McGee gets her tea-leaves read

You'll be married in a month they say

These leaves are crazy

Just look at this town there's no men left

Just frail old boys and babies

Talking to teacher in the treble clef

She plants her garden in the spring

She does the winter shovelling

Tokyo roses talking on the radio

She says I'm leavin' here

But she don't go

Out of the blue just passin' thru
A young flight sergeant

On two weeks leave
Says Molly McGee no one else will do

And seals the tea-leaf prophecy

Oh these nights are strong and soft

Private passions and secret storms

Nothin' about him ticks her off
And he looks so cute in his uniform

She plants her garden in the spring

He does the winter shovelling

But summer's just a sneeze
In a long long bad winter cold

Soon she says I'm leavin' here

But she don't go

Sleep little darlin'

This is your happy home

Hiroshima cannot be pardoned

Don't have kids when you get grown

This world is shattered

The wise are mourning
The fools are joking

Oh what does it matter

The wash needs ironing

And the fire needs stoking

She plants her garden in the spring

He does the winter shovelling

The three of 'em laughing 'round the radio

She says I'm leavin' here but she don't go

She plants her garden in the spring

They do the winter shovelling

They sit up late and watch the
Johnny Carson show

She says I'm leavin' here but she don't go
