Oh darlin’ darlin’ darlin’
Said the princess to the prince
On the people that have passed here
And each has left their prints
And the morning sun is warming us
We’d best be on our toes
For once again we find we’re in
The land of the missile and the rose

Oh darlin’ darlin’ darlin’ said the prince then to the princess
Smell and see the beauty of these flowers on the fences
Ten thousand years our ancestors with care and with repose
Oh kindest hands at work here in the land of the missile and the rose

Oh darlin’ darlin’ darlin’ said the princess to the prince
See the tall and shiny weapon circled by the fence
No one can imagine all the horror in its pose
At the bottom fallen blossoms in the land of the missile and the rose

Oh darlin’ darlin’ darlin’ said the prince then to the princess
Watch our children in the garden through these rosey lenses
Fell the love that’s in our hearts and the joy in those below
How happy I am to be here in the land of the missile and the rose

Oh darlin’ darlin’ darlin’ said the princess then to the prince
Our children run within the shadow of our armaments
Let us stay by each other and hope no ill wind blows
You understand please hold my hand in the land of the missile and the rose
